Yes Steve they are young pups, they are about 6 weeks old and they only live to about 5 years of age.

Nice shot. They must be night time hunters with those long hairs on the sides of their faces.

Thanks Canonloader. They are in fact nocturnal, but they don't generally hunt.
They mostly scavenge for their food, eating dead animals such as kangaroo's, wombat, possum's etc.
