I'm going to stick my neck out here and say thats a Yellow footed Rock wallaby. Possibly its a Bridled Nail tailed Wallaby but I dont think so.
Petrogale Xanthopus is usually refered to as Yellow footed RW. Perhaps there are different local names.

I was gonna say a kind of mudskipper but roberta might be closer.

Sure, they are, DP, but it looks like they are the same:
Quote:Petrogale xanthopus (ring-tailed wallaby, yellow-footed rock wallaby) Family Macropodidae Order Diprodontia (The order Marsupialia has been divided into 7 orders by most mammalogists).
But I'm not a marsupials specialist...

It's indeed from this planet, and a quite common species..
It's in effect a nudibranch..
Apologies Francis I should not have brought it up.
Its just that I had never seen/heard of a ringtailed rock wallaby.
I'm not a marsupial expert either so what would I know.
No need to apology, DP, I check the best I can, but I can be wrong too..
As I said, I'm no specialist, just an amateur.
It's not a Tambja Morosa...

Distant cousin of the ocelot?
Is he eating a duck? Or what is that thing in front of him?

I don't know how closely related they are. But neither are kin to sharks.
Probably a Margay but you can mistake it for a Black-footed cat.

I had to look up the Margay--looks a lot like it, but wrong part of the world.
Very close indeed, a leopard cat:
