25.01.2022 This poor ole coastal carpet python had got itself into a sticky situation! After some careful bathing he was put back in the shed unharmed

23.01.2022 In a #Queensland first we are trialling a captive breeding program to help bring a critically endangered #reptile back from the brink of extinction! Sadly, the ...#Nangurspinyskink (which is only found at two locations in the state) has dwindled to around 3,000 in the wild. The captive breeding program so far has involved successfully relocating 14 adult skinks to a specialised facility. And we are pleased to report that they are acclimatising well to their new surroundings which includes soil and rocks from their natural habitat. The purpose of the trial is to determine the feasibility of captive breeding to supplement the wild populations. We’re keeping a close eye on the skinks and are regularly conducting veterinary checks which have shown all the animals are healthy and have been maintaining or gaining weight. The Nangur spiny skink is listed as critically endangered under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 and critically endangered under the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. What would you like to know about the Nangur Skink, or the captive breeding program? Drop your questions below and we will have one of our experts respond! #qldenvironment | #threatenedspecies

22.01.2022 An international team of researchers from Spain, the United States, Brazil, Argentina, France, Australia and Chile has assessed risks posed by the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on Antarctica wildlife. Their study has now been published in the latest issue of the journal Science of the Total Environment...

14.01.2022 To everyone who has taken part or shared the human-reptile conflict survey I thank you greatly!! It has been active for 2 weeks and we have had 84 responses so ...far, with the most from Queensland, then NSW. It would be great to get more responses from other states, otherwise wildlife managers (aka Government) may not recognise this issue needs attention. The responses to the questions and the comments has been fantastic, much more than what I hoped for! There has been a comment saying I should contact snake relocators directly - under my human ethics I cannot contact individuals as potentially I may be able to identify the respondent (this was something that was pulled up in the application as it was my original plan). Therefore if you know of someone who moves reptiles or can advertise the survey, please share the link around! Thanks again!! https://forms.gle/xoFerZiBaXchsYWt9

14.01.2022 **Sound On** One of our new babies in care has a very important announcement! If you hear this noise it means you have a baby flying fox in distress near you. B...aby flying foxes become separated from their mums for a variety of reasons and are completely helpless once separated. Flying fox mums will try their absolute hardest to return to their baby if separated but if something happens to the mum, they aren't able to return. Baby flying foxes are very good at hiding and blending in with their surroundings so often it's just their call that alerts you to their presence. If you think you hear a baby flying fox but aren't quite sure you can shake your keys, make a kissing noise (as in the video) or even play this video to try and get a response. If you do find a baby do not touch it and please give us a call immediately. Our new intake here is one such baby that was found by a member of the public after they heard his call of distress. A reunite was attempted but unfortunately his mum wasn't able to return to retrieve him. He is a healthy little black flying fox boy and is adapting well to a life in care of bottles and cuddles with his new carer. For those worried he was not distressed in the video, it was coming close to feed time and he was letting his carer know he would like his bottle now please! This little one is currently unnamed and will be named by his adopter once we are able to get this seasons orphan adoptions up and running. We will make an announcement when symbolic adoptions are open! Remember that any bat by itself during the day is in need of help. Don’t touch the bat and give us a call immediately on 0488 228 134 for Brisbane and surrounds or your local wildlife rescue for other regions.

12.01.2022 Rescued.... another nicely landscaped garden from a feathered demolition expert This little fella couldn't work out the trap was open for him.

12.01.2022 Not many people see the inside of a koalas mouth! Did you know that the way to age a koala is by its teeth but not the front ones, it’s the back ones that grin...d down the leaf. They can live up to 18 years old in the wild if they are very lucky. Right now we are in breeding season so you might hear their mating calls or notice they are more active than usual. The girl in this photo was one I attended a few days back. Whilst it’s sad she died, it’s nice knowing she did reach what is considered old age. She may even have been one we rescued from a bushfire affected area 6 years ago! We hope to look at old photos and compare their noses which help us in identifying an individual, to see if it’s indeed Juliet!! #koala #teeth

02.01.2022 Two tourists have been slapped with hefty fines, for feeding a dingo on Fraser Island that later attacked a family. The pair, from New South Wales, was caught out after posting their close encounters to social media. #9News | Weeknights from 5.30pm

01.01.2022 As cute as this is it's a recipe for disaster out during the day and loss of the fear of humans will not end well it's very common in habituated provisioned animals. Please never forget these are wild animals and perfectly capable of defending themselves
