Pre-splat
Splat!
The cassowary has also been consuming Davidson's plums (Davidsonia pruriens), hefty fruit that it swallows whole.
All the other forest frugivores peck or nibble. (Like lemon aspen, this fruit also makes a delicious jam, but I've yet to see the pademelons master that skill.)
The fruit-eaters have carefully eaten around the seed. (A better picture of the seed here.) I'll chuck it into the forest, where there's a good chance it will germinate. There's no shortage of Davidson's plums on this block. And no shortage of Davidson plum-eaters.

pre-splat! splat!! HA!
thanks for the detailed poop info! i for one, love it!!
('whose poo are you?!'...sometimes i'm faced with that dilemma...when wandering the woods...)
There's a lot to be gleaned from poo!
Most of the poo here has come out of the pademelons. Occasionally supplemented by the brushtail possums and turkeys. The big dollops of cassowary has certainly given the other wildlife something to match.
