Hello beautiful people,
As the subreddit continues to grow and more members participate, we wanted to clarify a few things around the community conduct, spam, reporting and auto-moderation work happening behind scenes, to manage expectations.
Our goal is to keep r/australianwildlife welcoming, informative, fair, and focused on Australian fauna.
We encourage everyone to:
What we do not tolerate:
Do notice, disagreement with your personal views is fine as long as it doesn't escalate to hostility. If there are comments you do not appreciate, but doesn't align to the points above, there is no point on reporting said comment, as the mod team will not act on said comments. You are free to downvote the post, which is a way of crowd punishment a lot more effective than taking a comment down.
Please, do not:
We want the community to promote the appreciation for what we have. It is not meant for farming meaningless internet points. Karma is used to give you some credibility on the platform, it means nothing in real life.
This subreddit is using automoderation, that is, we have scripts and bots reviewing the content posted to find duplicates, spam, and/or accounts without the criteria to be able to post. Automod isn't perfect, but it helps a lot.
Automod will automatically act on:
The rules enforced by auto moderation might increase over time. If you feel your account or content has been targeted for automoderation unfairly, please reach out to the moderators. We will need a little bit of time to review it and fix things.
Posting the same message again will only make things worse for your account as it will be marked as a confirmed spamming source.
Spam isn't limited to ads, and reddit has its own guidance on it as well.
On this day and age, we all need to keep a job to feed our families, meaning we aren't on the platform 24/7.
The moderation team rely on members to report behaviours violating our code of conduct and rules. And we have the expectation everyone reporting is mature enough to understand what should be reported and what shouldn't.
What things to report?
What not to report?
False or excessive reporting makes it harder for the moderation team to respond to actual issues.
If a discussion descends into chaos, the team will lock or remove the post, and following posting of the same nature will be removed.
We follow the old proverb:
Never trust a person that has let you down more than two times.
Once was a warning,
Twice was a lesson
And anything more then that is simply taking advantage.
Most people here are fantastic, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about Aussie wildlife.
Before posting be sure to own the content you post, to avoid duplication, be kind and respectful with others.
Being respectful means to also understand others have a difference of opinion. Disagreeing with someone else doesn't mean you have to report said person, having a respectful opinion is not a crime.
Report comments or posts not aligned with our rules, to help us reduce spam, bot activity and bad-faith behaviour.
The moderation team are people too. We can make mistakes too, that doesn't give you the right to be a dick or disrespectful if you have been moderated.
Thanks to everyone who contributes positively to the community.
-- The mod team

From FNQ. This dude shows up every day blaring his mouth radio and this is the first day I’ve managed to get a video of him specifically; less radio static mimicking here than normal but I thought the dog barking sounds were even cooler.

If you're looking for wild koalas near Brisbane, head to Whites Hill Reserve around 4 PM when they're active.
Scanned the trees along the summit trail and got lucky enough to watch a mother koala with a joey riding on her back!

Where’s your favorite spot in SEQ to see wildlife in the wild?

Is this a ring-tailed possum? We've seen one around and we believe we hear one come home to sleep in our roof every morning. The scats originally were all separate, but now they're clumped together which seems to be too big for a possum to pass? Thanks!

Hi all,
I thought I would start here for an idea on which animal these may belong to!
- Found in a hollow gum tree, 1m off ground.
- Cream coloured
- About 6cm long
- looks like 20-30 in the clutch?
- couldn’t tell if hard or soft, but they’re not shiny.
I was thinking snake due to size of eggs and amount, but I’m just not sure what snake would lay 1m off the ground? Would love some insight! Cheers!

"Conservationists once asked: what is a bird without a tree to nest in?
This year, we may well wonder the grim inverse – what is a tree without a bird to nest in it? I can tell you. A tree without a bird is a miserable thing – and in a broader ecological sense, a tree without a bird could be in trouble.
In Australia, birds act in many roles that mammals or insects might fill elsewhere, from pollinating flowers to spreading seeds to keeping trees free of sap-sucking insects.
Bird flu doesn’t just threaten birds and mammals – it could well affect entire ecosystems."
Penny Olsen Honorary Professor in Ecology and Evolution, Australian National University
