Do you like solving puzzles? Woylies and koomal do too! @misharowell and I documented their problem solving attempts for the first time in Dryandra National Park. Read more: doi.org/10.1111/aec.13…

Elliott trap or bandicoot snack machine? Love these images captured from a camera trap set by a student on my recent @unisqaus wildlife field trip! #wildoz #ecology #bandicoot

Using their mouth and paws, Eurasian harvest mice weave tiny spherical nests out of grass and reeds. Sometimes they use these structures as a shelter, but when a female mouse is expecting a litter, she will build a special nest to house her young. 📸Assistant Supervisor Veronica

I LOVE BANDICOOTS! This week we're checking up on them one month after their re-introdution to Newhaven's feral predator-free sanctuary. #ecology #conservation

Much more than a house mouse 🐭 This little, fragile fellow is a New Holland Mouse (Pseudomys novaehollandiae). Read 'The threatened species we don't talk about' to learn about other threatened species that exist beyond the spotlight 👉bushheritage.org.au/blog/threatene… 📷Bruce Thomson

Your friendly reminder that Australia gets to share the quoll love with our nearest neighbours. There are two endemic species found in PNG and West Papua - the Papuan or New Guinea quoll (Dasyurus albopunctatus) and the bronze quoll (D. spartacus)
Pete Morris@birdingpete

One of our luckiest and most unusual sightings in Papua New Guinea this year was of this Papuan Quoll at Kumul Lodge. This rare predatory marsupial is seldom seen, yet this inquisitive individual repeatedly approached us to within a few metres! Unreal!! #wildlifephotography

I just realized I never posted this to Twitter and I apologize for y'all almost missing out on sleeping baby beaver content (said beaver is getting treatment for a broken leg at a wildlife rehabber, do not try to treat wildlife on your own!)

There’s a new wild population of #takahe in NZ! With Ngāi Tahu and supported by Fulton Hogan we’ve released 18 takahē to the Greenstone Valley near Queenstown - a site where they haven’t lived for over a century. Here’s the last pair heading off to their new home. #conservation

We were trying to survey bandicoots this week at Mt Gibson, but ended up catching more hopping mice (both Mitchell's and Spinifex) like this one. It's not quite what we hoped for, but it's hard to complain when the hoppers are this cute and are clearly doing well. 🤷 #WildOz

Talk about a JUMP scare! The Bilby population at Mallee Cliffs National Park (NSW) is growing in leaps and bounds - more than doubling since their reintroduction in 2019. 📈 🎥 J Holding/AWC

QUOLL BABIES! Here's a fawn-coloured & a dark-coloured eastern #quoll, both with full pouches of mini-quolls just starting to get their spots, but we don't know what colours they'll be yet. #Quolls can produce a mix of colour babies (a litter of 6 can have 6 fathers). #fieldwork
