I was woken this morning by two kookaburras making a racket down the side passage. Turns out their beaks were stuck together (!)
While they scrambled and fought, trying to pull apart, a currawong sat on the fence commentating the life-or-death struggle.
After my sleepy brain had made sense of what the bloody hell was going on, I fetched some gloves and gently prised them apart. They both flew off in high dudgeon.
What a surreal start to the day.

Emus are now local legends at Potato Point, NSW! Originally pets on nearby Horse Island, they swam to the mainland and now roam freely, raising chicks and helping regenerate bushland. Locals love them – it's the coat of arms come to life!

From cat-like quolls and dog-like dingoes to gorgeous lizards and tiny hopping mice, many Australians would love to keep native animals as pets.
It's also argued that turning threatened species into pets may keep them from going extinct, so why don't we keep these animals as pets? The answer isn't that simple.

I just checked the camera at the quoll spot & am pleased to see we have a new one - this youngster. By comparing their unique spot patterns I've identified at least 21 individual spotted-tailed quolls in the three years we've lived here.

Have you ever seen a mallee emu-wren (Stipiturus mallee)? This sweet little bird is a Triodia spinifex specialist, using the spiky, tussock-forming grass as shelter from predators and a safe site to nest and forage!
The mallee emu-wren was once found across mallee shrublands and heathlands, east and west of the SA–Victoria border, but land-clearing, bushfires and droughts have removed its habitat from much of its former range.
Learn more about this beautiful little bird and the efforts to protect it… https://ausgeo.co/malleeemuwren

This wombat is making the most of the long weekend in true blue Aussie fashion – with a day at the beach! ☀️
Did you know that wombats sometimes forage on the beach? They will wander the sands, snuffling about for salt marsh plants like samphire!
Watch our video interview with wombat expert Yolandi Vermaak to learn more about these awesome animals… https://ausgeo.co/wombats

It doesn't get much cuter Down Under than watching Arthur and Mindaloo of The Kangaroo Sanctuary sharing a cuddle and play 🥹🧡
Kangaroos are arguably Australia's most iconic animal, and for good reason! There are many species of kangaroo (and wallaby!) in Australia, and these unique creatures can be found bounding across much of the continent.
What's your favourite Aussie animal? Let us know in the comment section below! 👇

#Bilbies, #bandicoots, #bettongs, and #quolls are making a comeback on these arid plains! Australia has the highest mammal extinction rate globally, but the Wild Deserts program is working hard to reverse that, with a dedicated team of scientists leading the charge. #WildlifeConservation #AustralianAnimals #Biodiversity #Extinction #australia

The absence of a substantial stomach in #platypuses and short-beaked #echidnas has baffled scientists for centuries, but a #study has found a specific #gene that may be the cause of their strange digestive system.
So, how do these unique creatures digest their food? And how do they get by without a conventional #stomach?
The University of Adelaide PhD Candidate Jackson Dann shares his “bizarre” research with us in the latest 60 Seconds of Science.

Learn more about this unique skink, and the efforts to conserve it: https://ausgeo.co/tjakura 🦎
Have you heard of the Tjakuṟa? Also known as the great desert skink, this species is not only special for its beautiful sunset colours and unique family units and burrows – it is also an important Tjukurrpa (Creation) animal for many Indigenous desert communities.
The Tjakuṟa is facing a difficult battle for survival, but thankfully, Indigenous rangers across the Australian desert have joined forces with Resilient Landscapes Hub and Indigenous Desert Alliance to protect the iconic species.

Just saw a shadow move towards our fig tree grove from a distance, went closer to investigate and eventually found this specimen high up in the branches! 🦎 No wonder the birds were sounding the alarm! 🚨 This beautiful Goanna could easily empty their nests 🪺🔜🪹 check out how they wrap their long tail around the tree for balance; from head to tail I'd guess this one to be approximately 1.8m long. Beauty! 🤠 (Where is a DSLR with a decent zoom lens when I need it... 🙈)

Day 6: Mouse for #DoodleWashDecember2022 and #ArtAdventCalendar
This is a spinifex hopping mouse from central Australia. It generally lives in tunnels about a metre underground. They have really amazing kidneys that save nearly all the moisture so their urine is solid.
Painted in a concertina watercolour journal that I made myself. The paper is 300gsm hot press, 100% cotton by Boahong.#Mouse #Watercolour #WatercolourPainting #Painting #illustration #MouseHouse #MastoArt #art #AustralianAnimals #ArtChallenge
