  1. 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." >>

  6. 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.

  11. 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."
