Yes, very. Did the rounds for a week or more here in Oz. Interesting that it hit the world news though. It's just another native cat, to most Aussies.

The quoll species in question (it is a small doglike marsupial, a carnivore, and very cute) was known to be alive and well in Queensland (a state to the north) and was only extinct in South Australia. It seems to have spread back to the southern state.

There are other species of quoll.

Divided by a common language....

Exactly. They used disguise self to disguise themselves.

At this point I feel like you are going out of your way to avoid saying where you got the image from.

They are also more durable when you make them for yourself.

It isn't hard to say "oglaf" or just link Trudys site.

Those all sound like disguises to me. What am I missing?

An American thing. Apparently it is actually pumpkin seed flavoured. They rarely eat pumpkin, calling it "squash", and renaming squash to something else (summer squash or something?) Anyhow, they can traditionally only get the flavouring at one time of the year, their relevant harvest festival, and so scarcity breeds obsession.

It is even more bizarre from the viewpoint of the southern hemisphere, where spring has sprung, and our delicious pumpkins are available year round anyhow.

By the look of it, black clay. Never understood why they don't just put the skull upside down.

"There is always a relevant Oglaf" is a little-known relative of the Internet Rule "there is always a relevant XKCD". Also, link the author of the stuff you post, it's better manners.

Odd to see the fox "indoors" and domestic, and cat more "bush". They're both problematic invasive species here, but cats are mostly domestic, foxes wild/feral. Would make an interesting pet, I am guessing.

I'm finding it hard to see Brave as major.

Honestly hadd to say. Looks to me like an arthropod, and perhaps even an insect. Just maybe those extra legs are pseuodopods (like the fake legs of a caterpillar) of a nymph (juvenile). It could be a dragonfly larva? There is no indication of size, but seems like baby dragonfly that I have seen in the past. If small though, it could be a silverfish. Those aren't insects, just arthropods, they are related to slaters.

I'm mystified too.

Nah, bugs have sucking mouthparts, and are insects. those aren't sucking mouthparts. Those things chew. And too many legs to be an insect, or a bug.

They are arthropods, just like lobsters and insects, but no, they are not insects. Spiders are arachnids.

Does it work for Australian shows, or is this an American Only method? Can't find the answer on their page, so I am guessing it is not for us.

...No they are very smooth. I think you are thinking of cobblestones.

Nah, you just found the one who wasn't American. There are a lot of them here, and they go to a lot of trouble to vote anyone who knocks them down.

That one looks dangerously, breakably thin. I am a clumsy human, and certain I would break it.
