#wildoz

Australia's only native shrew has been declared extinct. This extinction is not just a statistic: it’s the silencing of a species, a permanent erasure of unique evolutionary history.

What a cutie! Check out this gorgeous Brisbane River Turtle, found in our own suburb of Kenmore crossing the road. Turtles are frequently found moving across land in pring when females are in search of nesting grounds. After a quick health check this one was sent back on its way a little bit further from the perilous road. Fantastic creature 😁🐢🐢🐢 #Brisbane #wildlife #wildoz #reptilesofinstagram #turtle #freshwater #emyduramacquariisignata #nature #cutie (at Kenmore) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5bzHcdAGtn/?igshid=p7cyfvi1kiq4
