Meet QLD's Hidden Dragon: Boyd's Forest Dragon 🐉 Unlike other lizards that bask in the sun, this rainforest specialist allows its body temperature to flow harmoniously with the air around it. This means it can remain active even during rain! 📷 W Lawler/#AWC #AussieReptiles

September 7 marks a significant day in Australian history - the loss of the last Thylacine, which died in captivity in 1936. 💔 #ThreatenedSpeciesDay is a reminder of this tragic loss + the urgent need to conserve Australia's unique wildlife so they don't face the same fate.

The greater stick-nest rat (Leporillus conditor) is munching through African boxthorns and nesting in the plant’s thickets. While this might not seem unusual, it is actually evidence of a native #animal thriving off an invasive species: ausgeo.co/stickrat 📷 Australian Wildlife Conservancy
