Awwwww, what a cute little fellow.

I've never seen one in real life. I would stay away from them. Looking at the picture I wonder how come the background is so blurry? What is the focal length on the lens, and how far were you?

Actually they are cute and quite friendly when used to humans. I have some other shots around the forum of some we were feeding in a camp ground. Try to grab a wild one not used to humans and you'll get your arms and face scratched off though.

Focal length was 380mm (100-400mm Canon L) from around 15 metres away. My wife used our very bright LED bike light to light him up so I could focus ... then my Speedlite 580 did the rest.
