  3. The first time in my life that I meet a dormouse (Glis glis)!! They are so incredibly cute! Just the sweetest little creatures :blobheart: :blobimfine:

    In German they are called "Siebenschläfer" which means "seven sleeper" because they hibernate so incredibly long :)

  9. Bushfires "protect life and property" - and biodiversity?

    "Wildlife rescuers warn of 'catastrophe' as key groups omitted from national disaster summit."

    "An estimated three billion native animals died or were displaced during the 2019–20 Black Summer bushfire...We were walking on ashes of animals. We found bones everywhere. We found a koala hanging from a tree, burnt, a skeleton."

    "In the aftermath, the inquiry recommended that wildlife rescue be better integrated with overall emergency response."

    "Wildlife rescue organisations in New South Wales warn a new disaster response plan hasn't been completed almost four years after the Black Summer bushfires, leaving native animals at risk as summer approaches."

  10. @Fanua @thecrobe Thank you! When I win the lottery, I will 😀. Interesting that they forage during the day, I wonder whether that’s because of the lack of predators; certainly the ones here are nocturnal (as they are generally, of course). Daytime sleeping pix aren’t a problem (see below), it’s in flight (ditto). They’re a protected species here in Australia also.
