Helpful Posts: This is a Bilby, in this image under a heat lamp to keep warm......
The Bilby's are to find in the arid zones of Northern Australia, and they are sort of a bit like a rabbit......
Here in Australia they can be bought in chocolate, and are favorites to give at Easter time, instead a bunny........

Re: Bilby....
Nice and sharp considering the lighting you probably had.
Have you thought about trying to correct the colour a little bit? It will never be perfect but you maybe able to improve it slightly. Below is a quick edit done by just using levels.

Re: Bilby....
Thank you.....but the colour is correct in this instance, as the heat lamp was a red infrared light, so the soil looked very like as one the image.......

Re: Bilby....
Thanks for the added info...I thought SA is warmer than Melbourne...and that Bilby will get used to your weather condition over there......it is cold down here at the moment -- you are both better off over there...for now...
