Unfortunately for me, it was facing the other direction, so all I could shoot was a big hunk of fur ball.

Unfortunately the cost of flying in Eucaliptus leaves from Florida finally caused them to be returned to San Diego. They also were almost always asleep which didn't make them the most exciting exhibit. I'm told they also smell bad but we couldn't get close enough to tell. But they are cute critters.
