This lovely little native marsupial has visited the pond a number of times each month since November 2014. Increasing the number of rocks around the pond helped to make the Antechinus a more regular visitor. This species is more active during daylight than other Antechinus so we have many daytime photos and videos. All Antechinus species are renowned for the fact that all males die after a short mating season in autumn/winter, leaving a population of pregnant females. The young of the Yellow-footed Antechinus are not weaned for 3 or 4 months, the longest time recorded for a carnivorous mammal. We hope that in the months to come, we may get video or photos of a female with young. Increasing the amount of timber on the ground will help increase the population of Antechinuses on any property. They forage with rapid jerky movements on the ground, among rocks and in trees. The Antechinus video for this description shows 4 of the many daytime videos we have and includes an Antechinus jumping on the back of a hare and one catching and killing a frog.
