From endless horizons to the glow of the outback, every corner of this wild, untamed beauty tells a story. The red tracks, the vast skies, the magic glance over the nature from Oz —this is the Australia I used to explore when creating my photo series titled “Australian Biotope”.

That afternoon light hitting the ocean pool just right.
Taken with the new DJI Mavic 4 Pro — sharp, clean, and full of texture.

What if we could get cane toads to destroy themselves? Find out how… https://ausgeo.co/peterpantadpoles
Researchers from Macquarie University have discovered that cane toad tadpoles are "enthusiastic cannibals" of cane toad eggs, and can wipe out entire clutches in waterbodies where they're released.
But what about when these tadpoles turn into toads and start breeding? Well, there is a solution for that too – and it is inspired by Peter Pan.

Saltwater crocodiles are often spotted lying in the sun, but Australian researchers have discovered it’s just as vital for these reptiles to remain cool.
So, why do crocodiles need to regulate their body temperature? And what does this teach us about these iconic Aussie predators?We asked PhD candidate Kaitlin Barham of The University of Queensland for the facts; this is 60 Seconds of Science. https://youtu.be/J-1OmXGrq_g

Stunning, mysterious and diverse – Australia’s 1700 orchids are the jewels of the country’s flowering plants.
Not only are Australia’s orchids unique in their beauty, they also possess diverse qualities – greenhoods flower in winter and trap unsuspecting fungal gnats to pollinate themselves, while sun orchids have numerous flowers that only open on sunny days.

Have you ever seen a mallee emu-wren (Stipiturus mallee)? This sweet little bird is a Triodia spinifex specialist, using the spiky, tussock-forming grass as shelter from predators and a safe site to nest and forage!
The mallee emu-wren was once found across mallee shrublands and heathlands, east and west of the SA–Victoria border, but land-clearing, bushfires and droughts have removed its habitat from much of its former range.
Learn more about this beautiful little bird and the efforts to protect it… https://ausgeo.co/malleeemuwren

Zebra sharks (Stegostoma tigrinum) are considered harmless because they are sluggish, slow-swimming, and feed primarily on molluscs.

In Australia’s mangrove-lined mudflats and estuaries live armour-plated mud-dwellers with massive bone-crunching claws – giant mud crabs (Scylla serrata)! 🦀
Once thought to be a small-ranging inshore inhabitant, recent tracking has found egg-bearing females venturing 100km or more from their estuaries, while prawn trawlers have hauled them up in nets more than 50km offshore.
So, why are these crabs travelling so far from home? See what scientists speculate… https://ausgeo.co/mudcrabs

Here are some kangaroo kisses to celebrate World Kangaroo Day! 🧡
Kangaroos are arguably Australia's most recognisable animals, and for good reason! These gorgeous marsupials are widely spread across the continent, and more than 45 kangaroo and wallaby species are found around Australia.
These species are part of a small group of animals called macropods, which means 'big foot' – a perfect way to describe these cuties!

Happy World Cassowary Day to our feathered friends – the world’s second-biggest bird! Cassowaries can grow up to two metres tall and live for up to 30 years, although individuals have reached almost twice that age in captivity!
This World Cassowary Day, drivers are urged to be ‘cass-o-wary’ on the roads, as, over the past 12 months, there have been 21 cassowaries killed in road strikes – making road collisions the leading cause of reported cassowary deaths.

This footprint is one of 24 dinosaur prints found on Victoria’s Bass Coast, proving dinosaurs once roamed polar environments! 🦕
The tracks were created by theropods and ornithopods about 125 million years ago during the early Cretaceous, when Australia and Antarctica were connected as part of the landmass Gondwana.

“Good evening, and welcome to television.” These, the first words on Australian television, were uttered by Bruce Gyngell on 16 September 1956.
Television was introduced in time for Australia’s first Olympic Games in Melbourne. There were fewer than 100,000 television sets in Australia then, but today, there are more than 18 million.

Learn about the significance behind the discovery of a coastal emu nest on the Visit NSW North Coast… https://ausgeo.co/coastalemunest
Coastal emus were once widespread across the north-east of the state, but the population has fallen to fewer than 40 individuals, and the birds are now only found within the Evans Head, Red Rock and Bungawalbin areas of the region.
However, discovering nine eggs in a nest near Grafton offers hope for these endangered birds and may mean their numbers are increasing and the population is spreading out.

Have you encountered a manta ray in the wild before? One woman did – and it led to her changing careers and launching a project to protect these ‘charismatic’ underwater flying carpets.
For more than a decade now, Australian marine scientist Dr Asia Haines has been an integral part of University of the Sunshine Coast’s Project Manta – a team investigating the population, biology and ecology of the enigmatic reef manta ray (Mobula alfredi) in eastern Australian waters.

Leadbeater’s possum (Gymnobeliedeus leadbeateri) is one of many animal species that remain at high risk of extinction despite being listed as endangered on the EPBC Act for almost a decade.

Australia’s wildlife and ecosystems are iconic, integral to our national identity and loved worldwide. But they’re often disregarded and destroyed, and are declining at alarming rates.

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!
