Posted @withregram • @platypus_protector This #platypus was in stealth mode! I’ve seen them glide to the surface and you can see their streamlined body but this one only popped its head out and still very low in the water. Maybe a possible behaviour change to reduce predation. Native predators are bird of prey, goannas and snakes. Other records have mentioned Murray Cod and crocodiles due to the region. Introduced predators, especially in urban areas, are foxes, dogs and cats. #southeastqld #brisbane #platypuswatchnetwork

Nom nom nom 😋 @calebmac_media spotted this gorgeous little sugar glider chowing down on a juicy bug. It’s estimated that a single colony of these gliders can consume up to 200kg of insects per year 😮 .

Today is World Wetlands Day, the anniversary of the signing of the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance. This year's theme is the importance of biodiversity in wetlands.

Wetlands are an important habitat for biodiversity:
~ 40% of the world’s plant and animal species live or breed in wetlands.
~ 25% of wetland species are threatened with extinction, including water birds, freshwater-dependent mammals, marine turtles, and coral-reef- building species.

Restore wetlands, to restore biodiversity.

Happy Friday from the cutest ever yellow-bellied gliders 😍
The yellow-bellied glider is the largest of the four Petaurus gliders that occur in Australia. Yellow-bellied gliders have a yellowish-orange belly colour and a distinct black stripe down their back from forehead to tail.

@thelonelyboobook photographed these gorgeous fluffballs near Mt Barney within the Scenic Rim Region in south-east Queensland. The area was destroyed by fire recently - @thelonelyboobook came across these two gliders in a spot where the fire didn’t reach the tops of the trees.

Come along to our free Creating Wildlife Corridors in the Scenic Rim event on 8 February to find out how Scenic Rim WIldlife is working to protect and connect our precious gliders and other wildlife in the Scenic Rim and how you can get involved.

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:
