Sad remains of another little Antechinus (small marsupial mouse) killed on the back roads. I let the "bugs" clean it up then I can show the tiny bones to the children at work (Early Childhood Centre).
"Small native carnivorous marsupial, greyish-brown above and paler below. Long pointed head with bulging eyes and four pairs of small sharp incisor teeth. Ears are large, thin and crinkly with a notch in the margin. Tail is the same length as the body or shorter and is sparsely haired. Body: 70 mm - 140 mm; It weighs up 71 grams."
Macro Mondays: Dried
