Posted @withrepost • @platypus_protector Platypuses in #drought and #bushfires. 🔥

Drought impacts the waterways where #platypus live, by reducing the water they depend upon to move and forage within the system. They will be forced to find refuge in pool areas to await the breaking rains. But when the rain doesn’t come, the pools shrink and they are forced over land to find other refuge areas. They then become vulnerable to predation and exhaustion (mostly likely die). Platypuses may be saved from raging bushfires because of their semi-aquatic lifestyle and burrows underground but it will be the aftermath that is a cause for concern.
The aftereffects of bushfires will see the instream habitat decimated. There will be an increase in erosion and sediment build up in the water because of the burnt vegetation. This will cause unstable banks, collapsing burrows and nesting sites (with potential casualties) and important refuge pools in time of drought will become shallower. Increasing the likelihood of platypuses being forced out of the protection of waterways.
Sedimentation also causes water quality issues and impact platypus’ food items (aquatic insect larvae), as they can be sensitive to water changes. If platypuses can’t find food this will be another reason they are forced to move from an area.
**How you can help:
*Platypus will be rehabilitated with wildlife carers, please donate to organisations that help with their recovery:

Have a Happy Batty Christmas!
The last #battyboatcruise for the year was Sunday night. It was the perfect cruising weather with a postcard sunset to frame the flying fox fly-out over the #brisbaneriver.
The party boats and Christmas lights also set the mood for the end of year celebration!
Thank you for cruising with us and your support!
We’ll see you for the Batty Boat Cruise in 2020. @bat.conservation.rescue.qld #babyindi #wildlife #bats #thisisbrisbane #flyingfox #blackflyingfox .

We love this stunning abstract image by @cpjarrett 📷❤️ The #shortbeakedechidna is the only species of #echidna in Australia and one of our most loved and unique native mammals. With a distribution that extends from Tasmania to the Top End, this ambling adventurer can be found anywhere from the outback to the backyard.
Have you seen an echidna lately? Wildlife Queensland’s #echidnawatch program gathers information on the distribution and abundance of echidnas in your area – and we’d like your help. Find out how you can get involved 👉 https://wildlife.org.au/echidnawatch/

You’d be forgiven for thinking this exquisite little ball of fluff wasn’t real. Almost toy-like in appearance, the #greaterglider is the largest of the glider species in Australia and the most variable in coloration. The greater glider is also listed as vulnerable nationally and in Queensland and Victoria. Wildlife Queensland’s Queensland Glider Network is proud to have been awarded funding under the #moretonbayregionalcouncil community grants program to help protect this vulnerable species in the Moreton Bay Region.

Posted @withrepost • @doug_gimesy This week is Australian Pollinator Week, which during our southern spring (November), acknowledges our important and unique insect pollinators .
We should not of course forget the other important pollinators, and in this months edition of Wildlife Australia magazine, you'll find my piece on why Grey-headed Flying-foxes are pollinating superheroes.
