Kowari (Dasyuroides byrnei)
Sturt Stony Desert, South Australia

Sydney-based Ariana Anada (BA Wildlife Conservation and Photography) shared the backstory: “On a kowari trapping project in the far north gibber plains, we would rise hours before the sun so that processing these unique marsupials could be completed shortly after. In the morning light, a kowari (Dasyuroides byrnei) is released to find its burrow where it can escape the heat of the day. This kowari seemingly flew across the gibber, showcasing its speed that would again be put to use once night falls—where it becomes one of the fiercest little predators in the land.
