That's a full-grown adult chopping ice and all the shloggy stuff that has been falling today: rain first, to create a nice smooth ice skating rink surface on roads, followed by pellets of wet rain that hurt when they thumped into eyeballs, followed by wind and a fluffier layer of snow.
It's pretty.
I guess.

Heavy rains have filled my digging hole with unwanted water again. Not a problem, as I've been digging on the other side this week. It's a bit muddy, but no water.
These wombats were hilarious. The two of them were digging away at this tunnel when one ticked off the other, which resulted in the offended snorting with disdain followed by a wombat pity party. Very funny.
Anteater claws can grow up to 4 inches long! They are perfect for ripping open ant and termite mounds, and digging for tasty critters underground.
After driving into the mountains to look for snakes, but finding the weather horrible--13 C and a howling wind--I headed back down to try a lower road. The conditions were little better, but i saw a small-toothed ferret badger (Melogale moschata) but no snakes. After wandering down a farm trail for a last search before giving up, I heard a noise in the trees from the other side of the bend ahead and expected boar as I approached quietly. As I peered into the bushes, suddenly a pangolin appeared and began digging noisily, tearing into the tree roots. After a minute or so, it ambled away only to then emerge from the brush and cross the path in front of my feet, clambering up the bank so close that I stroked its tail a couple of times, not that it seemed to notice.
