EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of the Tasmanian Pademelon, a unique marsupial native to the lush temperate rainforests of Mount Field National Park in Tasmania, Australia. The adult Pademelon sits gracefully on its hind legs, gazing directly into the camera with a sense of curiosity and intelligence.
Known for their low-slung, compact bodies that are perfect for navigating through thick undergrowth, Pademelons are often found sheltering and foraging in the forest during late afternoon and early morning hours. They have a network of runways that they use to travel to and from their feeding grounds, sometimes covering several kilometers in a single night.
Once widespread across mainland Australia, the Tasmanian Pademelon is now confined to Tasmania and larger islands of Bass Strait due to hunting pressures from fur and leather trade as well as being a food source for both Aboriginals and Europeans. Despite these challenges, this resilient species continues to thrive in its remaining habitat.
This image by Steffen & Alexandra Sailer serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of wildlife found within our national parks. It is a testament to the importance of conservation efforts in preserving these precious creatures for future generations to admire and appreciate.
