It’s baby quoll season!! This tiny Eastern Quoll has just become independent 😎

Get smart: Are #Bilbies developing anti-predator behaviour? 🤔

Bilbies may not be as naïve to feral cats as previously thought, according to #research undertaken at #AWC's Mt Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary (WA)👇

Saw my first ever southern bull frog (Litoria raniformis) today! It was great to see this species of threatened frog thriving at a conservation-minded dairy farm. We have also recorded threatened wildlife such as Tasmanian devils, spotted-tail quolls, & southern brown bandicoots!

This graphic helps me wrap my head around the magnitude of the problem. Notice the amount of current biomass for wild mammals (in green) versus that for livestock and humans. No wonder we have converging crises of biodiversity, fresh water, and climate. https://t.co/bca7h18Sbp

New paper- https://t.co/cZ0vVU4N0P
We present an approach for predicting where animals perform different behaviours.
Using data from Tasmanian #wedgetailedeagles we map where perching, short and long flights are likely to occur, which can help manage this endangered population.

Had a great time at the #AMSPerth22 conference, especially thanks to the awesome people i met. So nice to be back to face-to-face meetings!

Excited to share a new paper in Australian Mammalogy @AusMammals! We developed a quick and easy metric for quantifying agitation and boldness in #woylies during cage-trapping @chloehfrick https://t.co/DJjmpEt8WG

Then and now. 3 wet years post-fires has helped a LOT.

This morning's #quoll pondering whether me and my 4am (wake up) dead-ish appearance would make a good brekkie.

[Judy Dunlop @Judy_Dunlop]

and look, they will have a go even if you just appear dead-ish!

Hate to see her go...but I love to watch her leave 🥹🤩

Great news that Shark Bay Bandicoots released last year into Ecological Horizon’s Mallee Refuge exclosure at Secret Rocks SA have been breeding continuously, more than doubling the population size. Secret Rocks safe haven was expanded with Australian Govt funding.

A good friend of mine (who is a wildlife rescuer) just sent me a new kind of #snootpic of a Pelican. A good 95% bill to 5% head ratio. 10/10

[Dr Amy Coetsee @dracoetsee]

Seriously, how could you not love Eastern Barred Bandicoots? There was another pouch young in that pouch, amazing how they fit. #AusMammalOfTheYear right there. @ZoosVictoria @CosmosMagazine

Nah, that’s a fuckin dinosaur

This week for #ThreatenedThursday it's a little battler that's all sorts of cuteness: big eyes, big rounded ears, fluffy belly and a long, long tail. It is, of course, the Dusky Hopping-mouse. Read on for more: https://t.co/JfdntEO07f
