Possums are intriguing animals with curiosity, adaptability, and resourcefulness. See them emerge from their daytime shelters (often tree hollows, roof spaces, or burrows) to forage for food at dusk.

Bare-nosed Wombat – Wombats’ unique combination of feisty defensive behaviour and generally docile, curious nature makes them one of Australia’s most beloved and fascinating marsupials. Observing them in their natural habitat can be a fun experience, providing insight into their intriguing lives and behaviours. See wombats on a Pepper Bush tour as a roadside discovery when travelling through the Roses Tier forests on cooler days or on a Quoll Patrol wildlife tour.

Macropods – Kangaroos, Wallabies & Pademelons

Forester Kangaroos – are fascinating Tasmanian animals with social, cautious, and curious traits that help them thrive in their natural habitats. They may approach humans if they feel safe and unthreatened. Despite their size, forester kangaroos are often gentle creatures, especially within their social groups. See these beautiful leggy fur-balls on a Pepper Bush Adventures Quoll Patrol wildlife tour.

Tasmanian Pademelon – the Tasmanian Pademelon is a small marsupial endemic to Tasmania. These compact, wallaby-like animals are known for their lively and sometimes feisty personalities, especially during interactions with each other. Their nocturnal habits and unique behaviours make them intriguing species to observe in the wild. We see pademelons on our nocturnal Quoll Patrol and Canopy Capers wildlife tours.

Bennett’s Wallaby – has a gentle and somewhat shy nature, combined with their distinctive appearance and behaviour, makes them a delightful species to observe in the wild. See Bennett’s wallabies at Ben Lomond Ski Village, the Mt William National Park campgrounds, and in open grasslands and forest edges where they forage for food at the Quoll Patrol venue.

Monotremes – Platypus and Echidna

Platypus – have a unique appearance with a duck-like bill, webbed feet, a beaver-like tail, and the body of an otter. This mix of traits from various animals makes it one of the most distinctive species in the animal kingdom. The platypus is a unique, solitary, and curious creature. It is generally shy and elusive and avoids human contact. See the platypus on a Pepper Bush Adventures wildlife tour while exploring the local waterways in the Scottsdale region.

Short-beaked Echidna – are solitary, shy creatures with a distinctive spiny appearance. Generally elusive, they prefer to avoid human contact and potential threats. When threatened, they curl into a ball, exposing their spines, or dig rapidly to bury themselves partially. Echidnas are known for their persistence, mainly when they forage for food or try to dig into tough soil or logs. The echidna is usually a roadside discovery while travelling the northeast Tasmania backroads on a Pepper Bush Adventures nature tour.

Reptiles – Snakes and Skinks

Reptiles–Snakes -Tasmania has three snake species, each with unique characteristics and behaviours. While some snakes are highly venomous, they are wholly protected. The tiger snake, lowland copperhead, and white-lipped snakes are more active in the warmer months. Snakes are usually roadside discoveries while travelling around the backroads and national parks on a Pepper Bush Adventures tour.

Reptiles—Skinks – Tasmanian skinks are a diverse group of reptiles that have adapted to various habitats across the island. Skinks can be seen basking in the sun to regulate their body temperature. The blue-tongued lizard is Tasmania’s most giant skink and is a remarkable and adaptable reptile known for its distinctive blue tongue. The mountain dragons are a fascinating find at Mt William National Park.
