Thank you. These images are still shots from a 20 second video from a wildlife camera. I don’t think this is a black rat, as I’ve never seen a black rat move like this - this one literally hopped vertically, at least five times its body height each time it bounced. I’ve seen black rats bound, but their movement is more of a horizontal bound than a vertical hop? Happy to send the video if you’d like?

Hi @LisaH If this is the only image, we better go with unidentified small mammal, as it could also be e.g. a juv black rat. Black (Roof) Rats are also very agile.

Great photo.
This appears to be A mimetes mimetes (Dusky Antechinus).
- general chocolate colouring is typical for A m m in Sydney sandstone region
- ear is smaller than in A stuartii
- tail is shorter than in A st
- fore-claws are much longer than in A st

Antechinus stuartii
