I think the name for a juvenile grey butcherbird should be "a grump".

Also literally the first thing I’ve ever posted here after years of lurking so no idea what I’m doing or how to add alt text.

🚨 New frog call alert! Thanks to a #FrogID submission from a @bushheritageaus property in Western Australia, our #FrogID database now includes the "squelchy fart" call of the Southern Sandhill Frog (Arenophryne xiphorhyncha) – a call previously unknown to science!

Found only from arid coastal sand dunes, south of Shark Bay, this record of the Southern Sandhill Frog is the 211th species to be added to the national FrogID database.

There are still frog calls out there yet to record and discover. Keep your FrogID app handy and help improve our understanding of Aussie frogs!

Wild Oz Wednesday 🐨 

🐨 Koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) 🐨 are tree-dwelling marsupials whose diet mainly consists of eucalyptus leaves. While eucalyptus is toxic to most mammals, koalas have evolved digestive systems that neutralize the toxins.

A beautiful Eastern Brown Snake from #Redbank 😁 This cheeky bugger found his way into our client's bathroom! They wisely closed the door, jammed a towel underneath, and gave us a call. Safely moved to the creek down the street 🐍🐍🐍 Plenty of animals looking to cool down in this heat, keep screens and doors shut during the warm seasons to avoid scaly visitors 😁 For any #snakey enquiries call Snake Out Brisbane - 0456 880 903 🐍🐍🐍 #snakeseason #snakecatcher #snakeremoval #brownsnake #wildlife #Brisbane #Australia #snakesofig #snakesofinstagram #reptilesofinstagram #wildoz #nature #BNE #QLD #elapid #snakes (at Redbank, Queensland, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5WrSKKgiWz/?igshid=1at74x6bqfavd

In 2016 I had this image short listed in the @southaustralianmuseum and @australiangeographic Nature Photographer of the Year competition. The Auckland Island Teal is a flightless duck species that was recovered from the brink of extinction by a groundbreaking recovery program. They are little conservation superstars. These two were photographed on Enderby Island on a trip through the sub-Antarctic islands with @david_stowe. - I've been shortlisted in this years @southaustralianmuseum and @australiangeographic Nature Photographer of the Year competition so I'm posting up images that have been shortlisted (or won) in previous competitions. - - - - - #nikon #nikonaustralia #birdphotography #birdsofinstagram #exclusive_wildlife #feather_perfection #birdsofaustralia #pocket_birds #nuts_about_birds #ig_discover_birdslife #bb_of_ig #birdlovers #birdfreaks #allmightybirds #allnatureshots #udog_feathers #igbirds #kings_birds #your_best_birds #birdextreme #bird_brilliance #eye_spy_birds #igscwildlife #majestic_wildlife #bestnatureshots #global4nature #birdselite #birds_adored #planetbirds #wildoz (at Auckland Islands)

❤️😍❤️ . . #repost @australiangeographic ・・・ Just a little puggle out for a Sunday stroll…. This little short beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) was photographed learning to walk by Kieran Palmer @kezza_palmer. He (or she) is likely to be less than 10 weeks old, as the iconic spines have only just begun to show. At this age he will spend less time in the pouch as he becomes to prickly to carry and his mother will eventually build him a burrow, though he will continue to nurse from her until around 7 months. Thanks for sharing your pic with us Kieran!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #nature #naturephotography #australia #qld #wildlife #wildlifephtotography #auswildlife #natgeo #nationalgeographic #wildoz #explore #wildlife_perfection #animal_sultans #animalelite⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #outback #outbacklife #visitqld #discoveraustralia #travelqld #exploreaustraia #abcopen #abcmyphoto #mammals #abcwesternqueensland #echidna #monotremes #puggle https://www.instagram.com/p/B9KxNCrAnYH/?igshid=awlftj4fuohr

Look what I found in my garden just now! A blue-tongue lizard. Now that's what I call Successful Gardening.

Happy World Lizard Day!

Adult Australian water dragons (Intellagama lesueurii) are large enough to eat small mice.
