Hello all,

Is there anyone who can tell me if Qatar Airways intends to operate flights from Doha to Sydney via Singapore. If this is the case, I would appreciate any information be posted for all.

It looks like a Southern Brown Bandicoot,
isoodon obesulus
sub species fusciventer.

At least, it does with the limited view in your photo.

Those ears are rounded, rather than pointed, aren't they?

Neither, and the range of bilbies extends as far as Perth, though they are exceedingly rare.

If the OED is correct, thern both platypus and octopus come from the Greek,
Saccers.

Hard to get an i out of that.

But usage has the last word. Platypus fits into print easier than platypuses and it's easier to say.

Cheers.
