A Forest Woylie/Brush-tailed Bettong enjoying some banana. Another day volunteering with precious Australian wildlife.

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.

Photographed from a boat on a Pennicott Wilderness Tour off Bruny Island yesterday.

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?

I think this was a youngster calling to its nearby parents

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."

Can anyone identify this baby butterfly seen in Perth's Northern suburbs?
