Thousands of southern bent-wing bats are due to give birth any day now in a special cave in south-west Victoria 🦇🦇 To ensure the population is not disturbed at this critical time, access to the site is restricted and the cave will be closely monitored.

@gusgoswell Not an expert but Google Lens tells me it's a Microsorum Scandens and the "ovate scales" are part of its beauty... Mainly commenting so someone with more flora knowledge than me can get offended by this comment and jump in and correct 😉

Melbourne Zoo has welcomed the safe arrival of the first Asian elephant calf born at the facility. 🐘

The newborn is the zoo's first elephant calf to be birthed from natural conception, following a 22-month pregnancy from mother Dokkoon and first-time father Luk Chai. #9News

This is a long and potentially boring thread so feel free to scroll straight past ...

When I was 14yo, a boy gave me a "friendship" ring. 9ct gold. Quarter moons and stars engraved on it; cost him one week's pay.

Gun hobbyists can find a replacement recreational activity. Parents can't find a replacement child. #Uvalde

[Ben Rosen @ben_rosen]

listen, there are responsible gun owners who just enjoying hunting and I want to make it clear that I don’t care at all and they can find literally any other hobby

A wee thread about a young boy and the tweet that got away. Feel free to RT.

Three weeks ago my youngest, Gabriel 12, came home upset. His love of woodwork was not deemed cool, nor was only having 6 followers on his instagram. 1/15

Uber charging a casual $261 for a six-minute ride from the airport. Cool cool cool.

The enormity of this project - from the decision to roll the dice and move these possums to finding the precise habitat where they can thrive should not be underestimated. Incredibly proud to be working alongside the people who have the courage and expertise to pull this off!

[Zoos Victoria @ZoosVictoria]

1/3. BIG conservation news for the lowland Leadbeater's Possum! 📢 A translocation trial is underway that involves moving a third of the world’s population of Critically Endangered lowland Leadbeater’s Possums to a new forest home in Victoria’s north east.

AEC handing out some great advice re: misinformation and elections but really it can be applied to every single conversation on the entire internet.

[AEC ✏️ @AusElectoralCom]

@AntonyGreenABC @albon_st @janettj777 @gotcankles @garigalAnj @MyArgue Quite right, Mr Green. As always, 'Stop and Consider' is excellent advice when sharing info that might be a bit suss.

A good read and also why @ZoosVictoria is calling for palm oil to be labelled (people pressure to bring about change), not banned. https://t.co/IXk7px8vJt

[Hannah Ritchie @_HannahRitchie]

A topic where I see one of the biggest gaps between public opinion & recommendations from scientists is palm oil 🌴🦧

Companies often boycott palm oil to look sustainable to consumers. But a ban is rarely the recommendation from experts.

Sam Kerr hip and shouldering an annoying pitch invader is such a mood. What a QUEEN! 👏
