Cute, Cuddly, Endangered Creature Needs some PR

OK, the title may be a bit misleading from most people's perspective.  Afterall, those creatures who are cute and cuddly often do not need nearly the PR of those that many find to be "creepy", and a short YouTube clip of, say, a baby Panda will have purse strings loosening around the globe. 
However, biodiversity is a good thing, and hopefully something that the people on an island near Australia will embrace as well as people in general.  The story of how this creature survived against the odds, though unclear, is pretty fascinating just as the story of how they were driven to the brink of extinction illustrates the danger of invasive species.
Enjoy, and while you may not wish to snuggle up with one of these little cuties, surely you will still say "awww" when you read how they sleep in couples, the male embracing the female.
