💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦊🧩 A taxidermied head bought at an #antique market as a #fox was identified as a #thylacine, the extinct #marsupial known as the Tasmanian #tiger.

Only the second known mounted specimen, it was confirmed by X-ray and added to the International Thylacine Specimen Database. Researchers may sample its #teeth for #DNA.

“A new study led by Flinders University has flipped the historical narrative about #Australia's #thylacine, finding the native apex predator known as the ‘ #TasmanianTiger ’ was significantly different from the wolves and wild dogs it was likened to before being hunted to #extinction.”

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.

This was a random cute little sketch Rdy doodled up of him as a plush on my head!

Julia Creek dunnarts were once thought to be extinct, but now ecologists are on a mission to find and protect them… https://ausgeo.co/dunnart

“If we can’t find them, we can’t protect them,” says Associate Professor Andrew Baker from Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia, but discovering dunnart range is easier said than done.

From traditional Elliott traps with peanut butter and bacon, to detection dogs and eDNA filters, researchers are pooling all their resources to find these feisty little carnivores!

#Australia’s largest flying #marsupial: After 25 years, logging and bushfires, a #GreaterGlider has been spotted in #Deongwar state forest https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/may/01/after-25-years-logging-and-bushfires-a-greater-glider-has-been-spotted-in-deongwar-state-forest

"The last confirmed sighting here, on the lands of the #Dungibara people, was in the late 1990s... These #animals need #trees at least 150 years old; when you log a #forest you change it in pretty dramatic ways... Native forest #logging will cease in south-east #Queensland this year – but how long will it take #forests to recover?"
