12.01.2022 THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH BABY PLATYPUSES ON SOCIA MEDIA. SO HERE, HAVE TWO FOR YOUR SATURDAY MORNING There's no official name for baby platypuses, but they're... often referred to as puggles or platypups. Platypuses are one of the five extant species of monotreme, meaning that they are mammals that lay eggs. It's also one of the very few venomous mammals - the male has a "spur" that's capable of delivering enough venom to kill a small dog! NINE QUIRKY FACTS ABOUT THE PLATYPUS 1. People originally thought the platypus was a fake animal When the platypus was first described in 1799 in the "Naturalist's Miscellany" by the naturalist George Shaw, he wrote, "So accurate is the similitude that, at first view, it naturally excites the idea of some deceptive preparation by artificial means." Indeed, the platypus's unique appearance.. a duck's bill and feet, an otter's body and fur and a beaver's tail... all but screams hoax. Even though Shaw doubted its authenticity, he still dubbed the creature the "duck-billed platypus" and provided it with a Latin name, Platypus anatinus, or "flatfoot duck." The critter's scientific name is now Ornithorhynchus anatinus, and it is the only living representative of its family and genus. 2. Platypuses are venomous mammals Very few mammals are venomous. A male platypus delivers venom through ankle spurs (females aren't venomous). The venom is composed of defensin-like proteins, or DLPs, three of which are only found in the platypus, which ups the animal's oddness factor. The venom can severely hurt, but not kill, humans but it can be lethal to smaller animals. Scientists think that the venom, which increases in production during mating periods, is intended to incapacitate rival males. Speaking of reproduction ... 3. Platypuses are egg-laying mammals The platypus isn't the only venomous mammal, and it isn't the only egg-laying mammal (the four species of echidna also lay eggs). Not much is known about the life cycle of a platypus. Males play no part in rearing the offspring following mating. The female gestates the eggs between two to four weeks and then another week of incubation in which the female circles around them bill to tail. Once they hatch, the young suck milk from special mammary hairs for a few months before they become independent. 4. They're at risk of extinction The platypus is listed as near threatened on the IUCN Red List of threatened species. Extreme, prolonged drought conditions in Australia have dried up the waterways that make up the platypus's habitat, according to a 2020 study in Biological Conservation. The animals are also threatened by habitat loss due to land clearing and climate change. Recent months of bushfires have also taken a toll on the species. "There is an urgent need to implement national conservation efforts for this unique mammal by increasing surveys, tracking trends, mitigating threats and improving management of platypus habitat in rivers," the researchers write. 5. Platypus milk could combat superbugs Since platypuses don't have a sterile way to deliver milk, it needs additional protections against bacteria in the environment. In 2010, scientists discovered that platypuses' milk contained antibacterial properties that could help in the fight against antibiotic resistance. A study published in the journal Structural Biology Communications determined that the protein has a ringlet-like structure, so researchers named it the Shirley Temple protein, after the child actor known for her curly locks. This structure is unique among proteins, and it could indicate a unique, therapeutic function as well. 6. Platypuses have 10 sex chromosomes Mammals typically just have a single pair of chromosomes that determine sex, but platypuses have five pairs, a real rarity in mammals. For mammals, two chromosomes are all you need to determine sex, but for the platypus, it's always 10 chromosomes that determine sex. Odder still is that some of those Y chromosomes share genes with sex chromosomes found in birds. Yes, birds. It's possible that mammal sex chromosomes and bird sex chromosomes evolved at the same time, and the platypus could be the key to figuring it out. 7. Platypuses don't have stomachs Platypuses nosh on bottom-dwelling invertebrates like worms, insect larvae, shrimp, but that food goes directly to their intestines from their gullets. They don't have a sac of digestive enzymes or acids to break it down. A study published in Genome Biology outlined how several different genes related to digestion and the stomach were deleted or deactivated in the critter. One possible reason for this is that those bottom-dwelling dishes can be high in calcium carbonate, a substance that neutralizes stomach acid. No need for the acid if you're canceling it out all the time. 8. Platypuses don't have teeth, either First no stomachs and now no teeth. How do they even eat? When platypuses go diving for food, they also scoop grit and gravel from the seabed. With all of this in their mouths, they surface for air and begin to "chew" by grinding the gravel and their prey together. 9. Platypuses 'see' with their bills underwater. When they dive underwater, platypuses are basically sightless and are unable to smell anything. Folds of skin cover their eyes and their nostrils seal up to become watertight. Their bills, however, have electroreceptors and mechanoreceptors that allow them to detect electrical fields and movement, respectively. But since their mechanoreceptors will be attuned to any movement, electroreceptors are necessary to detect living organisms for eating after they dig through the sea bed.

08.01.2022 CH 7 will be covering the event for Monday nights news, all the community up at Eungella are aware and will be helping arrange everything at thier end...

08.01.2022 Hello all Worldwide Collective Prayer Invitation for Australia: Currently there are out-of-control fires in 4 States of Australia. Human and animals lives... are at risk-- with both human and many animal fatalities already. They need a miracle to bring on the rain. The power of people praying together is very powerful. You are invited to partake in a 3 minute prayer/intention where we collectively see/feel/hear: A massive gathering of monsoon rain, falling on the affected areas (see map below), lasting for days. Gentle consistant rain, soaking into the land, all fires are put out. See/feel/hear the people celebrating, full of joy and gratitude. All animals too are grateful ! See/feel/hear this in 3D, colour, present time, NOW. Collectively praying!/ intending together at the same time, has a much more powerful effect than when we pray individually. Please feel free to post this invitation to any friends or groups in your community Whatever faith or spiritual belief you connect to, enlist the Grace of this to come to Australia's aid. The Compassionate Grace of the Divine will hear our calling!

04.01.2022 #notouchstillconnected Because right now we can't do it, because we are applying social distancing, because we are isolated, I feel like I want to share with yo...u this amazing experience and memories from last summer that brought me so much joy and love. Because I currently want to take you all in my arms, because I want to tell you how much I love you, how much I care for you, how beautiful you are. Now we can't do it, I realize how much hugging is a gift. To all my friends, family and everyone I met and connected with. From all my love . Parce qu'on ne peux pas le faire en ce moment, parce qu'on est pratiquement tous en confinement, en isolement, je ressens le besoin de partager avec vous cette expérience incroyable, ce souvenir inoubliable de l'été dernier, qui m'a apporté beaucoup de joie et d'amour. Parce qu'aujourd'hui j'ai envie de tous vous prendre dans mes bras, parce que j'ai envie de vous dire à quel point je vous aime, à quel point je tiens à vous, à quel point vous êtes beaux. Maintenant que nous ne pouvons pas le faire, je réalise à quel point faire un câlin est un cadeau. Pour ma famille, mes amis et toutes les personnes que j'ai rencontré et avec qui j'ai eu une connexion. Avec tout mon amour . "You might think, it’s just a simple hug but in reality it is more than it appears. It’s the purest gift that we can offer to each other, a moment of connection, of affection, a moment of bliss. Body against body, no words are necessary, connecting to our heartbeats, we are surrendering to the magic. A pure moment of love, when this time becomes enough. Who’s giving? Who’s receiving? Yes it is quite confusing. But it doesn’t really matter. What truly matters is that we are opening our hearts and from being apart we suddenly become one." From Laure Kypriotis Music: "The truth about the World" from Andrea Marie
