    For being known for their deadly animals, Australia sure does have a lot of cute animals. Pademelons are so cute.

        They’re among the deadliest but you still have things like Drop Bears to worry about. You can see one being handled here with the appropriate protective gear. Note how it reflexively begins seeking its next potential prey in this frame captured just before the carnage unfolded. The rest of the video is out there but I don’t recommend looking for it*.

    It looks like a real life teddy bear. Even though I know better, I really want to pick it up.

      It was really hard not to, but so very illegal. There was a woman walking around with an osprey on her arm. I presume she was part of the anti-quokka-feeding patrol.
