Looks like like a konowi to me. Very healthy looking animal. I've seen a few with that colour, esp as juveniles. They tend to get a bit darker as they get older.

Agreed that the rest are all coastals/hills, including the top one labelled as palarra, can't quite see the bottom one. I think this is probably a good thing though as it means he has has a nice sized group of the same species for breeding.

I'll be sure to post up any other pictures I get for a better look at them all. Hopefully I can get pictures of the parents at least.

Awesome pictures Rolf, and congratulations on your success with them. I hope to live long enough to see the day that these are being consistently bred here in the U.S. too.

Yes - thanks so much for the pictures Rolf! That is a great picture to see the difference between for them, the dad is much more "olive" colored than the mother or offspring. Thank you!

By the way: when ever you go to Rottnest let me know how many dead konowi you saw. I was told that they were killed by the tourist busses as well as by the many bicycles driving around.


Hi Pipa,

I don't think I've ever seen a dead shingle on Rottnest. The only vehicles on the island are the buses and they make sure to go slow to avoid wildlife (mostly the quokkas). The roads are quite wide so its pretty easy to avoid them on bikes.
