22.01.2022 Just how carnivorous are Northern Brushtail possums? Especially young males? I have reared young ones that ignored all food offers to get at a piece of chicken but this really surprised me. It was Tuesday night at Bot Gardens in Darwin. As you will see the small possum was freshly dead,no rigor mortis, but I did not see the big one kill it so do not know for sure if it killed it or was just scavenging? The baby's tongue appeared to have been eaten. Really makes me wonder what would happen if a possum found a small cane toad on the ground??

08.01.2022 It is such a sad indictment on our systems that these guys are no longer in our top end systems. I think the term is functionally extinct, Was great to get the chance to watch this guy for a bit.

05.01.2022 Nice to see a big Carpet python (2.5 -3 m) cruising around town! Isn't Darwin amazing, how many capitals have great native biodiversity still?

04.01.2022 An invite to all to join in with our SUPER (Supporting Urban and Peri-Urban Endangered Reptiles) Project. We are encouraging people, especially kids to get inv...olved with identifying and surveying the reptiles in their backyard. For more details go to the SUPER page on the ReptileWatch page in the Biodiversitywatch portal. http://biodiversitywatch.org.au/index.cfm You can download the id booklet and the data sheet at this page.

02.01.2022 Great work team!

01.01.2022 The release of goanna #02 for Nightcliff this year, and the first of three that we've caught in a trap in Kerin Place - if only we all had so many yellow-spotted visitors in our yards in Darwin! #02 lives in a pipe in this yard and was happily undisturbed by her trapping and microchipping experience as she was back raiding the trap for breakfast only a week later! If you have any goannas in your yard we'd love to hear from you and have a chat about setting up a trap in your yard - so please send us a message if you're interested!
