From Chris Arnold,<br/>Darlington, Western Australia
The two baby numbats from New South Wales are indeed “adorable”. Even the adults are adorable, as my wife and I can attest from our rare roadside sighting in the Dryandra National Park in Western Australia. This gives me a neat segue into a personal observation that many people who claim to be nature lovers are in fact attracted to nature largely by prettiness(18 October, p 5). Would those same people be as driven to donate towards the preservation of at-risk but ugly creatures?
