Western quoll
The western quoll (Dasyurus geoffroii) is Western Australia's largest endemic mammalian carnivore. One of the many marsupial mammals native to Australia, it is also known as the chuditch. The species is currently classed as near-threatened.

Brush-tailed mulgara
The brush-tailed mulgara (Dasycercus blythi) is a medium sized carnivorous Australian marsupial species. The species is sexually dimorphic with males being much larger than females. Their body length is 12 to 17 cm (4.7 to 6.7 in), and tail length is 6–10 cm (2.4–3.9 in). They store fat in their tail, which at times can be over 16 mm (0.63 in) wide at the base.

The taxonomy of mulgara species has been rather torturous. In 2006, the species names were decided as Dasycercus blythi and D. cristicauda (crest-tailed mulgara). However, a 2023 study decided that the scientific name of the crest-tailed mulgara should be resurrected from synonymy with D. cristicauda back to D. hillieri, and proposed three additional new species of mulgara.

Svastikasana has each foot tucked as snugly as possible into the fold of the opposite knee.

Siddhasana is one of the oldest asanas. It is described as a meditation seat in the early Hatha Yoga text, the 10th century Goraksha Sataka. This states that Siddhasana ranks alongside Padmasana (lotus position) as the most important of the asanas, opening the way to liberation. The 15th-century Hatha Yoga Pradipika similarly suggests that all other asanas are unnecessary once Siddhasana has been mastered.
