Meine lieben Lebensformen,
heute ein sehr besonderes Tier, welches wohl kaum eine:r von euch kennt. Es ist der Numbat, auch Ameisenbeutler genannt.
Der Numbat ernährt sich nur von Termiten und deckt durch sie auch den Flüssigkeitsbedarf.
Der Numbat ist etwas größer als ein Eichhörnchen und ist leider durch den von Menschen in Australien eingeführten Rotfuchs stark gefährdet.
Je nach Quelle gibt es noch zwischen 600 und 1000 Tiere in freier Wildbahn. Dies sind zwei davon.

Tiere sind Freunde und kein Essen oder eine Plage und sollten immer in Freiheit leben dürfen.

Bleibt oder werdet wieder gesund, glücklich und verliebt.

#Perup #Manjimup district should be made into a national park like #Dryandra, when the ban on #logging native hardwoods takes effect in 2024… with research facilities and tourist facilities which are good for the area and #transition away from logging, employs people and attracts people to our community? And it can only be good for our #numbats."

#BloomPosting some Spikey bois from #Dryandra #WesternAustralia. We are lucky to have incredible plants and diversity in the South West. I am amazed every time I go into the bush.

A pair of Restless Flycatchers I had the good fortune to see in #Dryandra, #WesternAustralia back in May. An awesome bird, with a baffling call that sounds like sandpaper!
