Hi @MichaelBedingfield @KevTaylor , it has that general appearance and I think it is probably a koala, though it looks a bit on the large side, depending whose glasses those are, but views of the teeth are what people most want to see for identification of skulls. So can you post any other images? Meanwhile I can dig out a reference skull tonight for comparison, after i get back home. cheers

Hi @MichaelBedingfield and @KevTaylor I am happy to confirm as koala but it seems I don't have moderator status for this species in this area. cheers, Don
