Antechinus are not actually related to mice. They are just a very small relative of the kangaroo and koala.
Despite their cute appearance, they are darn feisty! A little antechinus can take down a chicken around five times its size, and eat it! The males also tend to die during a crazed mating season due to an overload of androgen.
These furry beasts are something else!
In the last hour we've had a dark storm roll in. So, the lighting isn't great for photographing the colour, but it's fine.
