Original - Tasmanian Pademelon (Thylogale billardierii), Mt Field National Park
Reason
I was photographing fungi when this guy popped out. I fortunate to be in the right position with camera attached to tripod (it was dark) so I could get the shot with minimal movement. According to the article pademelons spend daylight in thick vegetation - thus it is hard to photograph wild ones during the day. There are tame ones in some places, but the open environment isn't strictly natural during the daytime. The moss and fungi indicates that this is temperate rainforest.
