We’re excited for the weekend... and so is this Magnificent riflebird (Ptiloris magnificus) male 😁🐦

IG / @tomfrogbrooke spotted this amazing courtship display whilst staying @greenhoose in Iron Range National Park on their stunning private rainforest block.
Found in the northern Cape York Peninsula of Australia, the male Magnificent rifle Bird courts females by rocking side to side and up and down, and hopping towards and away from the female. Display season runs from late wet season through to dry season (November to April).

Do you have noisy neighbours? 🤔
We’re talking noisy, nocturnal, gliding neighbours - aka yellow-bellied gliders, Australia’s second largest, and very vocal, gliding mammal.

Paul Revie from Wildlife Queensland’s Queensland Glider Network discussed the plight of South East Queensland's threatened yellow-bellied glider populations on Breakfast with David Dowsett ABC Radio Wide Bay yesterday. Find out about this unique glider and how you can help #yellout to protect them this Christmas. Head to the link in our bio to listen to the interview☝(starts at 2:03:20).

Flying foxes are super pollinators, spreading the pollen of valuable plants as they feed. Some plants even rely on flying foxes to pollinate their species.

You can find out more about these amazing super pollinators (and meet orphaned baby flying foxes) on our 28 November Batty Boat Cruise. There's just one week to go and only a few spots left, so be quick!

It’s floofer Friday and today’s star floof is

It’s floofer Friday and today’s star floof is the yellow-bellied glider, also known as the ‘fluffy glider’ in North Queensland 😍

We’re excited to announce that yesterday we launched this year's Wildlife Queensland Christmas Appeal to help save the charismatic and loquacious yellow-belled glider.
Just last week, the southern population of this glider (P. australis australis) was relisted in Queensland as vulnerable, bringing its plight closer to that of its North Queensland relative, which is sadly already endangered.

This Christmas, we’re urging you to raise your voices, shout from the ‘treetops’ and help us raise funds to save Australia’s noisiest gliding mammal! We've put together a short video showcasing the yellow-bellied glider’s calls – and even showing it glide. Please help us #yellout for the yellow-bellied glider by sharing the video, donating to our appeal, and encouraging others to do the same.

Head to the link in our bio to watch the video 👆

Please support our 2021 Christmas Appeal and ‘yell out’ for the yellow-bellied glider!

We urgently need your help to continue to study these little-seen marsupials, which are endangered in Queensland’s north and vulnerable in the south. Raise your voice and help us raise funds so we can continue the excellent work performed by Wildlife Queensland’s @yellowbelliedgliderproject in locating, monitoring and researching Australia’s second-largest gliders.

Please don’t let this glider fade into a terrible silence. Donate today via the link in our bio 👆

A successful glider survey on Saturday by the @yellowbelliedgliderproject team and volunteers. ❤️❤️

Posted @withregram • @yellowbelliedgliderproject Surveys are ramping up with more people getting involved! Last night we were rewarded with several Greater Gliders and a couple of vocal and active Yellow-bellied Gliders. We witnessed some nice long glides and calls up close.

Who’s a happy platy? 😍

Swipe right 👉 to check out this amazing video footage taken by @deep_reflection_imagery this week at Peterson Creek, Yungaburra in far north Queensland.

“I got photos and footage stretched out over the day, but the best action was after 3.30 pm once it got a bit cooler. Been many times over the past year to see them duck diving only, but today they put on a display for the camera.”

They sure did! 😍

GLIDER CONSERVATION STATUS UPDATES (QLD) 📣 ℹ

GLIDER CONSERVATION STATUS UPDATES (QLD) 📣

ℹ️ The greater glider (southern and central populations - Petauroides volans) has been upgraded from vulnerable to endangered.
ℹ️ The northern greater glider (Petauroides minor), which was previously not listed, is now listed as vulnerable.
ℹ️ Additionally, the yellow-bellied glider (southeastern species - Petaurus australis) is now listed as vulnerable.

These listing updates are reflected in the Nature Conservation (Animals) Regulation 2020, available at the Queensland Government legislation website.

Habitat loss and fragmentation and loss of habitat connectivity to other glider populations due to timber harvesting and land clearing are main threats to these marsupial gliders.

“It’s not good news for our two largest gliders but we already knew that,” says Josh Bowell, co-founder of Queensland Glider Network’s Yellow-bellied Glider Project.

“That's why we are out trying to find them, to help conserve habitat. We must help the best we can to give them a chance.”

To find out more about the Queensland Glider Network, our latest projects and how you can get involved, head to our web page 👉 https://wildlife.org.au/queensland-glider-network

Happy #wallabywednesday from this beautiful red-necked wallaby and joey 😍🦘

@jradbarnes captured these amazing images of baby Wall starting to explore life outside the pouch, at Bunya Mountains National Park, QLD. 😍

‘Like all baby animals, macropod joeys go through a variety of stages on their way to growing up. This red-necked wallaby joey is at the phase commonly referred to as "velvet", where a light fur coat is starting to appear but the joey isn't fully furred. At this stage of life they typically still spend nearly all their time in the pouch, but this youngster is getting a headstart by exploring one tail-length from home for just a few seconds.’
