22.01.2022 Beautiful outcome

20.01.2022 This lovely little broad nosed bat is Sirius. He was found in a low power box and was called into us to rescue. He has no major injuries but is showing some bru...ising so will spend a few days with us to recover before being released. Sirius is thoroughly enjoying his stay at our five star bat resort where he has a lovely soft bed to sleep in and an unlimited supply of tasty meal worms to munch on. In the video you can see his impressive set of teeth that he uses to grab insects from the air while in flight. It can be a bit of an adjustment for our microbats to go from catching insects in flight to eating while stationary but patience and perseverance from his carer has ensured that Sirius has a full belly. Sirius’s bruising should heal up in a couple of days and he will be released back into the wild to continue to act as a free pest control for our urban areas. 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.

17.01.2022 Dead or alive, we want to know how many kangaroos you see in your area or out on the road this summer. Your response is invaluable to protecting kangaroos. K...angaroos have never been in more danger than they are right now. Not only have they faced extreme habitat destruction and loss of life from the Black Summer bushfires, kangaroos continue to be intentionally killed across Australia through the use of exclusion fencing as well as slaughter for recreation, agricultural purposes, and commercial purposes. The commercial killing of kangaroos is still the largest commercial slaughter of land-based wildlife on Earth. With evidence now suggesting that the long-term survival of kangaroos is at risk, we need all the help we can get to track the lives (and deaths) of kangaroos across Australia so that we can better protect them. *** Do you have more information or a personal experience with kangaroos you want to share with us?

14.01.2022 Exclusion fencing is tall, strong, and deadly - used to intentionally kill animals like kangaroos. Trapped in a confined area or hanging upside down by their fe...et, animals caught in exclusion fences or funnelled into contained areas suffer a long, agonising death of exposure, dehydration, starvation, stress, and predation. It gets worse. In official documents, the NSW Government actively encourages landowners to trap, starve, and kill contained kangaroos. The NSW Government also funds the roll out of exclusion fencing, and there's no published data on how much funding has been given out, let alone how many animals are killed because of it. Read more about exclusion fencing in our new blog (warning: graphic images): https://markpearson.org.au/exclusion-fencing-explained-how/ Exclusion fencing is just another way the NSW Government is killing kangaroos, and another reason the kangaroo inquiry we secured yesterday is so important.

11.01.2022 GUESS WHAT TODAY IS!? IT’S INTERNATIONAL BAT APPRECIATION DAY! May we salute the skies as they depart their colony tonight in their evening fly outs ... Each year on April 17th, National Bat Appreciation Day reminds us of the roles bats play in our daily lives. Fun Bat Facts: Some species of bats live up to 40 years. Bats can see in the dark and use their extreme sense of hearing. Bats are predominantly our main rainforest and bush pollinators, rejuvenating nature and an assortment of crops. A bat’s ability to fly makes them unique. In the mammal world, only bats are naturally capable of true and sustained flight. There are over 1,200 known species of bats. Nearly 70% of bats are insectivores, followed by 28% honey eaters and 2% carnivorous. As pollinators, bats, along with bees and butterflies, provide a vital link to our food supply. Bats grow in a variety of sizes. From 5cm to 5 feet. Bats are also clean animals, grooming themselves almost constantly. That’s only a small handful of the amazing facts about bats and flying foxes... we’d love to hear more facts if you have some to share! Pop them In the comments below... ABC abc.net.au
