Hi @JimL, I just noticed the location is wrong. Could you correct it please. (It is shown well outside the Sanctuary but the presence of the path in the photo gives away the true location).

@nathkay I'd like to get some details right please. (Why? Because we should get stuff right in any case but also because this is the first record of this species in the ACT as a whole wild animal. It was previously known from bones and fur in eagle nests at Wanniassa and Rob Roy in 2003. Extensive searches in following years failed to find the source population. Later the species was introduced by local staff to the enclosures at Tidbinbilla but some individuals quickly escaped through holes in the fence. So your animal may have been either a descendent of the captive ones, or part of the 'missing' local wild population which was the source of the bones and fur.)

The photo shows the animal on a road but the location given is not on a road. Could you please correct the location. Second, could you please confirm all other details, such as the date, and that the specimen was not collected nor any samples taken (other than a photo) and that it has completely disappeared?
