Spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta), family Hyaenidae (hyenas)
The largest extant species of hyena, and the most social carnivoran.
Young hyenas are born with a black coat, but begin to develop a lighter spotted coat around 2-3 months old. Their spots are better defined than adults, and fade with age.

Bogong Moth
Agrotis infusa
From the noctuidae family. They have a wingspan of 25-35 mm. They tend to inhabit urban areas, forests and woodlands. They can be found throughout Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania. The name derives from the Dhudhuroa (an Aboriginal Australian language) word bugung, which describes the brown coloration of the moth.
