Very cute!
Yeah most of WA animals are known as their aboriginal name. Quoll = chuditch, bilby = dalgyte, bandicoot = quenda :)
Cool! I didn't know they were called Mardos in WA. I saw some in the Bunya Mountains in Queensland - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/859...
Can you explain what a Mardo is?
