This is 'Susko'. She was eartagged (green No12 left) and fitted with a GPS collar in 2008 or early 2009 by Claire Wimpenny, with my help . At that time she was a young adult weighing 22kg and breeding every year. The GPS showed she occasionally visited the gardens in Parliament House via the underpasses beneath the roads. From her size, she was 2 or 3 at that time which would make her 17 or 18 years old now, which is fairly exceptional longevity, though not a record.
