In daylight? You are blessed indeed.

@Maguari Yes we got very, very lucky!

Okay, I'm going to be a freak and ask about an hour (And starting soon to visit zoo every day at that hour) - so when did you take this photo?
Congrats on the capture and observation!

@Neva About an hour into the visit iirc. A few keepers were working nearby so I presume that's why she popped out. One of the keepers told me the best time to see her is when the do the echidna feeding (they're mixed), though I do not remember exactly when that is.

@ThylacineAlive Thank you very much, now I have a start-plan

@Neva Good luck!

Interesting species, one I have not heard of.

@Arizona Docent They're fantastic, and huge- especially when they're gliding!

~Thylo

@ThylacineAlive Come on, don't tell us you saw one gliding?
