18.01.2022 Breaking News about Platy-poo's! It has been widely believed that platypus mainly defecate in the water, and that scats on land are very rare. But this urban pl...atypus is seen leaving the water to visit its often used mono-latrine! Thanks to the Australian Platypus Convservancy (https://platypus.asn.au/) for alerting us to the significance of this footage.

17.01.2022 We the Hobart Rivulet Platypus! Just sit back and watch. Beautiful! : Hobart Rivulet Platypus

13.01.2022 Did you know?! Male platypus possess a venomous spur on their ankles, making them one of the few species of venomous mammals alive today!

10.01.2022 With all the rain and frogs everywhere, just a quick reminder... if you see these eggs in any bodies of water PULL THEM OUT! I see so many arguments about the m...ost humane way to kill cane toads... as far as I’m concerned this is the best way ever! BEFORE THEY ARE EVEN BORN! Native Australian frogs lay eggs in floating foam clusters or ‘bubble nests’. Only cane toads lay eggs in long thin strands like the photos See more

10.01.2022 Wow! We are thrilled to share our PlatypusWatch survey results. In the last 5 weeks, 157 volunteers invested 474 hours into our program, surveying 76 sites acro...ss the Gold Coast (Currumbin Creek 9 platypus, Mudgeeraba Creek 8 platypus, Nerang River 23 platypus, Coomera River 14 platypus and Albert River 2 platypus) and spotted at total of 56 platypus! This has been the highest number recorded for the program! You might think that is fantastic, right? Well we did have heaps more volunteers out this survey round, introduced more survey sites which then both resulted in more sightings. We were also very worried about drought implications. We did survey sites where we have found deceased individuals during last year's drought and unfortunately did not spot any platypuses at these sites. This does tell us that drought has a significant effect on platypus populations. Volunteers furthermore discovered multiple opera house nets in the water (illegal size) and removed them from the water. Remember, there are platypus safe options out there like the pyramid nets you can buy at every fishing shop. See you all back in March and April for our next Survey round! Look at these amazing videos and photos by our dedicated Platypuswatch volunteer Daniel Blanks who came to all 5 surveys! #platypus #platypuswatch #platypusconservation #platypusconservationinitiative #cityofgoldcoast #logancitycouncil City of Gold Coast Logan City Council PlatypusWatch Network Australian Platypus Conservancy (Official) Platypus Conservation Initiative Wildlife Queensland platypusSPOT Glenn TOZER for Mudgeeraba & Hinterland (Division 9) Cr Gail O'Neill - Division 14 William Owen-Jones Division 2, Gold Coast Cr Laurie Koranski - Division 4 Logan City Council

09.01.2022 Our orphan wombats normally start bonding with our older wombats whilst they are very small but Anne hasn't. Instead she has separation anxiety and wants me to ...hold her all the time. She spends all night cuddling me and I spend all day carrying her around whilst I do my chores. Anne suffered quite a traumatic accident which saw her and her Mum left alive in the middle of a road for an entire night and day. They were both frozen when rescued and despite our best efforts, we lost her Mumma but were lucky enough to save Anne. One day, she will feel safe and confident enough to join her wombat family, in the meantime, I am going to carry her all she wants See more

05.01.2022 Did you know Platypus have no stomach! That's right! If you look inside a #platypus you'll find its gullet connects directly to its intestines. There's no m...iddle sac that secrets powerful acid and digestive enzymes. How much do you know about this rare #Australian species?

02.01.2022 Finally made it! 2 days with no phone signal, no internet, no electricity, only wood-fired showers...left my boys behind, and enjoyed nature
