bandicoots
Dec. 7th, 2008 09:39 pmLast Sunday evening, we had three bandicoots running around our backyard like crazy things. We've seen evidence of them being around in the last few years (ie lots of holes in garden and lawns) but I'd never actually spotted one before, let alone three at a time.
Grabbed my camera and got some video, but it was twilight so I've played with the brightness and contrast a bit to make them easier to see (only got 1 at a time on camera, alas), but it's still not the clearest. They're such weird little animals, and the way they move is just peculiar. But not anywhere nearly as bizarre as kiwis (dear New Zealanders, your national icons are FREAKING ALIENS).
