⬇️ Look at this cute little thing

You're looking at the incredibly rare northern marsupial mole, an animal that spends so much of its life underground in the Australian Outback that it's still largely a mystery to wildlife biologists.

• The tiny creatures are also called Kakarratul by the Martu, the traditional residents of most of central Western Australia.
• Kakarratul can "swim" through sand, using their noses and claws to move in a unique method that allows them to tunnel and fill behind them simultaneously, similar to the sandworms from Dune. They're so difficult to find (and teeny tiny – this little guy is propped up on someone's finger) that we don't even know how many there are in the wild. 

☝️ Anotha one: This was the second sighting in six months, an "incredible" occurrence, according to a Martu organization.
