💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦔🍼 A short beaked #echidna at the #SanDiegoZoo Safari Park gave birth to two #puggles in one season, a rarity for #monotremes.
One puggle is raised naturally while the other, which struggled to gain weight, is hand reared by veterinarians with #ultrasound monitoring. Echidna #puggles start life weighing about 350 mg – that's less than half a mini-marshmallow!

Marsupials are not just unusual mammals sitting at the edge of the placental family, but they're an entire branch of that mammalian evolutionary history.

Platypuses need threatened species recognition in NSW, researcher says
"The species was only "hanging on, not thriving" in NSW and the Murray-Darling Basin."
"There's no state or national monitoring framework for platypuses...Dr Bino said platypuses had survived Australia's natural cycles for millions of years, but were now struggling to adapt to human-driven changes. We've been disrupting the natural flow regime and fragmenting and isolating platypus populations."
"Platypus are pretty much wiped out from the mainland in South Australia. They used to occur all along the Murray but that's no longer the case." >>

When clearing your paddock with an excavator
or bulldozing your garden
or doing your renovation with a bobcat
or burning heaps or mulch piles
or letting your dogs off leash -Keep an eye out for echidna puggles in burrows.

Platypus in toxic brine
Platypus vanish from river where Charles Darwin pondered evolution"If there's a polluted waterway and it doesn't have yabbies and mayflies and dragonflies … you've lost the food source of the platypus. There are no platypus in that section of the Cox's now because it is heavily polluted with salt and other metal pollutants."
