While serving as a “Protector,” W. G. Stretton described how these animals were given “sky burials,” then full burials, just like those of nearby humans. Researchers at Madura Cave found the oldest known bones of these creatures, (-5[1])whose limbs childless women would hold to carry and wear them like a belt. A “camp” variety of this animal often used as a “living blanket” was first documented (-5[2])by Watkin (15[1])Tench. (-5[1])These animals and a “singing” relative are the only living members of a tentative (-5[1])clade that likely came via boat to (*) Sahul. (10[1]-5[1])They aren’t rabbits, (10[1]-5[1])but an extensive fence from (10[1])Jimbour (10[1])to Darling (10[1])Downs (10[1]-5[1])is named for this animal. (10[1])The Dharug (10[1])language provides the common name for this placental mammal, (10[1])which overtook the thylacine to become (10[1])the apex predator on a continent (-5[1])dominated (-5[1])by marsupials. (10[1]-5[1])For (10[1])10 points, (10[1])pre-colonial Aboriginals (10[1])seem to have partly domesticated (10[1])what feral (10[1])canines? ■END■ (10[6]0[2])
