I had a fun and rewarding morning, helping planting koala food trees yesterday morning with Bangalow Koalas. Koalas in the Northern Rivers are in real trouble, a possible local extinction. We need to plant as many of their trees as we can and join up the wildlife corridors. And we need to get governments to stop allowing developments and logging in their habitat. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #koala #conservation #trees
I💚turtles. It’s spring time and we are starting to the turtles sunning themselves on rocks near the water. This one is a saw-shelled turtle (Myuchelys latisternum), it is a species of turtle in the Chelidae family endemic to Australia. ⠀ ⠀ Ranging along rivers and streams and connected swamps and lagoons from coastal Cape York Peninsula to northern New South Wales, with populations also noted as far south as Newcastle. ⠀I saw this one in the pond at Southern Cross Uni. ⠀ Did you know: Saw-shelled turtle can stay under the water long period of time due to ability to absorb oxygen through the skin and cloaca? ⠀ ⠀ #turtles #turtle #reptiles⠀ ⠀ ⠀
I💚 Lizards. The land mullet (Egernia major) is one of the largest members of the skink family. After the cold winter, they are starting to venture out to nice sunny spots to warm themselves. ⠀ ⠀ People are usually initially shocked when they see them, probably because they look a bit like a snake and their size, this one was about 40cm long. But once they get over the initial shock, they look on in awe and these wonderful creatures. ⠀ ⠀ #lizards #reptiles #AussieWildlife
I 💚 spring time, but the red necked wallabies seem to have their joeys any time of year. Yesterday we also saw a couple of wallabies make a new joey 😉⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #aussiewildlife #babyanimals
I💚 koalas. It is always such a joy to see happy healthy koalas in the wild. 💚🐨 #aussiewildlife #koala
Just living is not enough, one must also have, sunshine, freedom and a little flower. - Hans Christian Anderson ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #nature #naturequotes #quotes #thoughtfortheday
