Original - Eastern Barred Bandicoot
Reason
The lighting is as good as you could expect for a wild nocturnal creature. Getting photos with multiple off camera flashes is reasonably challenging, taking maybe three separate attempts to get this photo. Wikimedia doesn't really have anything comparable else for Bandicoots, or to my knowledge, any pictures of this species at all. This is the species on which Crash Bandicoot is based (though I don't think it's presence in that article is important).
