A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
I just added it to the hopper's mission as well
Thanks guys! I didn't notice any ants or fluffiness, do they usually go hand in hand?
New scientific name is Platyplectrum ornatum
No worries, glad to help
Christiane, I have added a species ID to your link above. I think it is a Naked (Desert, Red) Tree Frog - Litoria rubella.
Not 100% on this one as it is a metamorph, but I think it may be the motorbike frog (Litoria moorei).
This is a barred frog of some description (Mixophyes sp.). Is the location correct? If it is, the only options are Mixophyes schevilli, Mixophyes carbinensis, or Mixophyes coggeri.
Pure dingoes in the wild are becoming rarer and rarer as they increasingly cross-breed with feral dogs - so in a sense, they could be seen as endangered. We have these dingoes on display to illustrate what dingoes are beginning to look like in the wild now. We do also display pure bred dingoes to show the difference. There is a huge difference in behaviour as well. The pure dingoes are relaxed and easy to manage. The crosses have to be chained apart when feeding as they will have a big scrap over the smallest piece of food. I've heard that pure dingoes in the wild only hunt for food, but the crosses kill for sport - but I haven't confirmed that yet though.
Her name is Caroline, and she is a captive dingo X feral dog at Rockhampton Zoo.
It's a captive southern hairy-nosed wombat from Rockhampton Zoo.
