Hi Leah, good one! This species lives in family groups of a dominant male, some adult females, and some offspring. The male marks them all with his scent gland. They move between several hollows in their home range. For future reference, identification of species with tails is often easier if one of the photos includes the tail. cheers

Good save many thanks @DonFletcher - going to adjust the 99% threshold to 100% and then reevaluate Carbon's behaviour...

@courtneyb yes that is a concern and I'm surprised that it was verified. I understand the trigger for verification is 99% correct, but I have corrected at least a dozen GGs misidentified as P. notatus, so Carbon seems far from ready to be confirming P notatus. @AaronClausen how say you?

Brilliant to see they are still living there - that section was hard hit during the fires.

@DonFletcher thanks for fixing this one and for the info! It was interesting that CarbonAI was confident enough to confirm this one rather than suggest (usually it’s the latter for the GG sitings).
