20.01.2022 Reuniting Ravens with their babies, these birds are so intelligent they know their own baby/ babies and dont show interest if not theirs, after being missing an...d in care for four days once they found it they weren’t letting him out of their sight, so one stayed above whilst the other searched for some food. Here is how it went! #Animalia #wildlife #rescue See more

18.01.2022 Even with clear laws, VicForests breaches them openly - almost just as a statement! We must kill them off before they smash every last renmant refuge!

17.01.2022 Tyrone from Tyabb nearly run over these two while riding his mountain bike yesterday in Red Hill. The copperhead (Austrelaps superbus) is well known for its spe...cial diet and there are many photos and videos of them eating other snakes. In this case, lunch was a tigersnake (Notechis scutatus). Stay safe,be aware, be nice to snakes. See more

16.01.2022 My lovely little Southern Brown Bandicoot mumma sending a message to my habitat-destroying neighbours. I should have videoed this little lady. She has a pouch ...full of babies and I sat in awe for quite some time watching them wriggling around. If I get another opportunity I will, but none of my regular critter visitors have been seen for a couple of weeks since the neighbours starting ripping apart the area where they live. Bandicoots are multi-oestrus, meaning they breed several times during the year. Females can give birth to as many as five babies at a time, but usually only one or two survive. By the looks of the belly nearly dragging on the ground I'd guess she has a full house. Their gestation period is very short, the shortest of any marsupial which is about 11 days. The young are born very tiny and under-developed and are in the mother’s pouch for approximately 2 months. They travel through a cord attached to their mother’s womb to reach the pouch. Here they drink milk from the mother’s teats and grow until they are large enough to leave the pouch. They can begin to live independently at about three months old. Bandicoot pouches are open at the back, to stop dirt entering the pouch when the mother digs.

16.01.2022 On Saturday 31st October, rescuers from Animalia Wildlife Shelter attended the scene of a horrific animal cruelty case in Langwarrin. We were able to rescue a number of birds, but were hindered by safety issues to assist more. These animals have all received veterinary treatment and are in care with a number of wildlife shelters. We can not comment further due to ongoing legal investigation. Animalia Wildlife Shelter is bearing the cost of treatment and rehabilitation of thes...e animals at this point in time and we would be extremely grateful for any donations towards their food and care. Donations can be via Westpac to: Animalia Wildlife Shelter BSB: 033138 Acc: 434072. Please use Ibis as a reference. Picture on right taken by Animalia Wildlife Shelter of one of a number of nestbound baby Ibis' that were rescued and is now in care.

14.01.2022 Found this little miss wandering around by herself at the Rusty Logging Coupe in Toolangi. She has some bite marks and a few fleas, but she'll be fine. She's now asleep and has a full tummy, but she doesn't have a name yet...

13.01.2022 Attention Victorian household gardeners Fruit netting is commonly used by household gardeners to protect their trees and fruit from hungry wildlife. Netting with a large mesh size is more likely to entangle birds, possums or flying foxes. Their subsequent struggling to free themselves may cause deep cuts and strangulation, often leading to death. From 1 September 2021, any netting used to protect household fruit-trees, vegetable gardens, or other fruiting plants must have... a mesh size, when at full stretch, of no greater than 5mm x 5mm. This is a directive from Agriculture Victoria. If you are looking to purchase netting this year, it is highly recommended that you buy netting that meets these requirements for this harvest season. Not only will this protect our wildlife, but it will mean that you don’t need to replace non-compliant netting next year. Don’t forget that old netting, when discarded, can still become an entanglement risk. It helps to place old netting into a strong biodegradable bag before putting into landfill.

12.01.2022 Today I spoke to my submission on the decline of the Victorian Ecosystem. I Make no apologies for my thoughts or words. Neither would you if you have seen what Ive seen and had to make many tough decisions. Here is what I said. The onslaught on our environment and our native animals is relentless. But what is it we know about the removal or loss of a species from the landscape, not enough if anything at all? Study and research on the effects on our Victorian ecosystem is a...Continue reading

11.01.2022 Just a reminder to all those environmentalists and aussie wildlife warriors out there who want to put a submission in for biodiversity times running out! I did mine today don't forget to do yours. https://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/epc-lc/article/4500

11.01.2022 Thought everyone would like to see a good news story about a little duckling, This one came into Karingal vet hospital and they rang me to see if I would take it into care to give it a second chance. It wasn’t able to walk but it just needed a couple of days of R&R, and a few friends all of these baby ducklings have come in one by one over the last few days from around the area If you would like to support the work of Animalia wildlife shelter Donations can be made to our group account westpac bsb033138 Acc434072

09.01.2022 Which Australian animal fits this description? Cathemerality, sometimes called metaturnality, is the behaviour in which an organism has sporadic and irregular intervals of activity during the day or night in which food is acquired, socializing with other organisms occurs, and any other activities necessary for livelihood are performed. It has been defined as follows: "The activity of an organism may be regarded as cathemeral when it is distributed approximately evenly through...out the 24 h of the daily cycle, or when significant amounts of activity, particularly feeding and/or traveling, occur within both the light and dark portions of that cycle."[1][2] Many animals do not fit the traditional definitions of being strictly nocturnal, diurnal, or crepuscular, often by factors that include the availability of food, predation pressure, and variable ambient temperature. As a result, many species, particularly among primates, may be classified as cathemeral.[3] Alternative patterns of cathemeral activity have been observed in specific lemurs.[4] Seasonal cathemerality has been described for the mongoose lemur (Eulemur mongoz) as activity that shifts from being predominantly diurnal to being predominantly nocturnal over a yearly cycle. The Common brown lemurs (E. fulvus fulvus) have been observed as seasonally shifting from diurnal activity to cathemerality.[5]

04.01.2022 Thank you to all our supporters for your support over the last six months. Thank you for the generous donations and kind messages. We couldnt do what we do without all of your support. Its very much appreciated Love from the Animalia team

03.01.2022 Do you think this is acceptable? The National Code of Practice for the Shooting of Kangaroos and Wallabies for Commercial and Non-Commercial Purposes, state a blow to the base of the skull is an acceptable euthanasia method for both furless and furred pouch young.
