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, 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 Tench. These animals and a “singing” relative are the only living members of a tentative (-5[1])clade that likely came via boat to (*) Sahul. They aren’t rabbits, (10[1]-5[1])but an extensive fence from (10[1])Jimbour (10[1])to Darling Downs (10[1])is named for this animal. The Dharug (10[1])language provides the common name for this placental mammal, which overtook the thylacine to become (10[1])the apex predator on a continent dominated (-5[1])by marsupials.
