Because the bloody head section I picked up yesterday morning from the roadway, 
besmattered by droppings under the pin oak tree certainly has long black ones.

Furthermore, I also claim that it has rodent like teeth which should indicate 
it is something like a bush rat and not a a ring tail possum as suggested by 
others.

Watch this site for further developments but I will bring it along on the 
Wednesday trip to Rowes Lagoon for the non-squeamish to inspect.

Another interesting fact we discovered about Turner, the powerful owl, was 
learned from Julie Carter ( ex CSIRO ) that it regularly roosts in her backyard 
in nearby Boldrewood St. and usually hoots as leaving on nightly hunting forays.
