  1. 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.

  2. Learn more about this unique skink, and the efforts to conserve it: 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.
