HAPPY BAT WEEK! 🦇 Bat Week (24-31 October) is

HAPPY BAT WEEK! 🦇

Bat Week (24-31 October) is an annual, international celebration of the role of bats in nature.

✳️ Did you know that flying foxes are the largest bats in the world? 😮🤔

✳️ These amazing flying mammals are also commonly called fruit bats but their diet is predominately nectar, pollen, and fruit - in that order.

✳️ Flying foxes have an important ecological role because their feeding behaviour helps pollinate and disperse the seeds of native trees.

Find out more fascinating flying fox facts here 👉
https://wildlife.org.au/flying-foxes/

This Bat Week we also have some exciting BATTY BOAT CRUISE news to share! 🙌🦇
Find out in the next edition of our free my.Wildlife e-bulletin, coming your way on 31 Oct! Subscribe now ☝️

Some fabulous news from the @yellowbelliedgliderpr

Some fabulous news from the @yellowbelliedgliderproject team. 👏 Read the latest project update below 👇

Posted @withregram • @yellowbelliedgliderproject PROJECT UPDATE

2 weeks ago Sam and I begun placing our audiomoths in a few properties in the west Logan region, 2 properties with several confirmed sightings over the years and another property with high possibility of YBG presence.

We have just finished analysing 2 of the moths which have uncovered some significant findings. The 1st audiomoth on a property where the land holder heard YBG call every month or so, picked up their calls every single night between 7pm and 8:30pm along with random calls throughout the night into early morning. It also picked up Powerful Owl among other things. This tells us the YBG are in this area more frequently than originally thought.

The second moth did not pick up any glider vocalisations this time, but it did however record a Barking Owl, a very rare species in south east QLD and to us a very exciting result. Next week we will deploy more audiomoths in the hope of learning more about this unknown population of Yellow-bellied Gliders in the semi rural landscape.

Another audiomoth to sort through then we will place 6 out next week, 3 in new properties. Then the numbers of audiomoths and properties will gradually increase.

Sam and I self funded this project to get it up and running, and we do it in our spare time. We are amazed at the support it is gaining and we would like to thank everyone for following our journey and especially @wildlifequeensland who without their support this project would not exist, along with Logan and Ipswich council and of course all the generous land holders.

How amazing is this #frogfriday capture by @laj_wildlife ?! 🐸😮

Posted @withregram • @laj_wildlife Just realised it’s Friday, so here’s a frog photo to celebrate frog Friday!
You’d probably assume these were two completely different species? This though, is a classic example of Sexual Dimorphism! These two frogs are Litoria wilcoxii. In the breeding season, the males turn bright yellow and stay relatively small, but the females are relatively dull in coloration, but easily double the size of the males!

Get involved in the Ibis Annual Census this National Bird Week!

Everyone knows an Australian white ibis, they are the bird at the park on the picnic table - and in this case, spying on local tourists 😂

But did you know they are a protected native species that plays an important role in nature?

This National Bird Week, you can help @ecosureau better understand this important Aussie icon by looking for ibis during the nationwide count between Monday 19th and Sunday 25th October 2020 and recording your numbers at 👉 https://j.mp/312EqRZ

Today is World Wombat Day! ❤️ Who doesn’t

Today is World Wombat Day! ❤️

Who doesn’t love these short-legged, muscular marsupials?!

Australia has three species of wombat. The Common wombat and Southern hairy-nosed wombat occur throughout Australia. The Northern hairy-nosed wombat is currently found in only two locations in Queensland.

The smallest of the three species, the Southern hairy-nosed wombat occurs in semi-arid country across southern Australia. It has a broad hairy nose, long ears and soft grey-brown fur.

The Common wombat, also known as the bare-nosed wombat, occurs in coastal and high country areas in south-eastern Australia, and has a bare pointed nose, small ears and coarser brown fur.

The Northern hairy-nosed wombat, the largest of the three wombat species, is only found in Epping Forest National Park in central Queensland and the Richard Underwood Nature Refuge in southern Queensland. It is critically endangered under both federal and Queensland environmental laws and its total population in the wild consists only of approximately 250 animals.
You can find out more about the Northern hairy-nosed wombat here 👉 https://wildlife.org.au/northern-hairy-nosed-wombat/

Two is GREATER than one! 😍😍 We’re sure @ph

Two is GREATER than one! 😍😍 We’re sure @photographersdownunder agrees after capturing this amazing image of two greater gliders in south-east Queensland recently.

Sadly, severe declines in Australia’s greater glider populations due to habitat destruction from land clearing and logging have been exacerbated by last Summer’s bushfire disaster, putting this iconic species at increased risk of extinction.

The greater glider, which is currently listed as vulnerable under federal environmental laws, is among 28 animals, including the yellow-bellied glider and the koala, currently being assessed for potential upgrade of their threat status.

It’s time to leap into action!
Find out how environmental groups, including @wildlifequeensland are working to protect and conserve our greater gliders at the Greater Glider
Mitigation Strategies workshop on Tuesday, 27 October, part of the @biolinksalliance Greater and Squirrel Glider Symposium - an online Zoom event. More info here 👉 https://biolinksalliance.org.au/greater-glider-and-squirrel-glider-symposium

Congratulations @lilash91! Well done for saving this gorgeous little guy and creating a beautiful #froghotel 🐸 #frogfriday

Posted @withregram • @lilash91 🐸 Saved a frog from weed spray and landscapers. He was a deathly shade of off yellow when we found him. Greened up when we put him in a wee container of water. Chilled on our bench on Saturday afternoon and sunday, even caught a fly for us. So we made him a Froggo Hotel out of stones, down pipe and a frog friendly water plant. He seemed to like it. Although he wasn't there this morning, I hope he feels safe enough to come and visit, and bring some friends.

Awwww 😍
@owlcaholic_ spotted this gorgeous little platypus at @visitmaleny on Queensland’s @sunshinecoast, describing the experience as his ”favourite wildlife encounter”.

The platypus is one of Australia’s most unique and amazing animals. Unfortunately, there is growing evidence that numbers are declining in some areas.

If you’ve spotted a platypus, your sighting information can help us to protect and conserve this iconic Aussie.

Wildlife Queensland's Quoll Seekers Network has to

Wildlife Queensland's Quoll Seekers Network has today launched a new guide that provides information and advice to landholders, natural resource managers and the public about the endangered spotted-tailed quoll.

Saving the Spotted-Tailed Quoll: A Landholder’s Guide aims to provide practical ideas that may contribute to saving this elusive species.

“It seems fitting that this guide is being launched on World Habitat Day; the loss of spotted-tailed quoll habitat is a critical factor in the ongoing decline of this species,” says Wildlife Queensland Projects Manager Matt Cecil.

“Taking time today to highlight and reflect on just how important conserving, improving and connecting wildlife habitat is may help to inspire people to do what they can for native Australian wildlife.”

It doesn't get much more Australian than this!🇦

It doesn't get much more Australian than this!🇦🇺 ❤️ A double kooki combo beautifully captured by @photographersdownunder

Kookaburras are the world’s largest kingfisher species and can live up to 20 years. Australia has two species of kookaburra, the Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novoguineae) and the Blue-winged Kookaburra (Dacelo leachii).

The Laughing Kookaburra (pictured) is well-known for its ‘laughing’ call which is used to establish territory among family groups.

This iconic native Aussie bird lives in eucalypt forests, open woodlands, or on the edges of plains in Eastern Australia. They build their nests in tree hollows or termite mounds.

Is the kookaburra your favourite native Aussie animal?
In support and celebration of World Wildlife Week this week, let's flood the internet with pictures of our magnificent Australian wildlife. Share your pics and tell us what your favourite native Aussie animal is.

Happy World Animal Day 2020! 🦘🐨

Today we’re speaking up for the nationally endangered spotted-tailed quoll.

This shy, white-spotted quoll is the largest marsupial carnivore on mainland Australia. It is also the only quoll species found in south-eastern Queensland.

Habitat loss and modification and habitat fragmentation have contributed to a significant decline in spotted-tailed quoll numbers. Fewer than 10,000 are estimated to now remain in the wild.

WHERE ARE ALL THE QUOLLS?
That’s exactly what Wildlife Queensland’s Quoll Seekers Network (QSN) hopes to discover!

QSN is extending its search for the elusive spotted-tailed quoll in south-eastern Queensland in 2021 - and they need your help.
