To prevent an increasingly dire conservation outlook, Wildlife Queensland's PlatypusWatch program definitely needs increased funds to put in place conserva...

Really cool
amazing
thanks so much enjoyed learning so much more about these majestic, beautiful creatures.
I've heard them many times and they've glowing glided over the top of me in the full moon light.. and then we had the spotlight on it for about 20 minutes just watching it sit there they're vocals are amazing and yes this was on private landin a heavily forested Gully that was 100mm wide with farmland on both sides.. I went up to The tall timber in the state forest and I didn't hear any I think they are actually locally common in some areas
Thank you for uploading this so we can all learn :D

Well done!!!!! Love the noises too.
I'm proud of my big brother Sam Horton for making a difference in the conservation of these beautiful yellow bellied gliders. It runs in the family!
5:12.. flies I know, but looks like a teady bear, mixed with possum, mixed with kangaroo or wallaby, mixed with a squirrel.. so cute, but I know has vicious claws and teeth.
Congratulations Wildlife Queensland and the volunteers involved for your efforts to support this amazing species! We have some more info on the Richmond Birdwing here: ruclips.net/video/BoBc_-bGaQI/видео.html
I've never had the pleasure of meeting a brush-tailed rock wallaby. Thank you for uploading.

I notice that the mapping of Richmond Birdwing sightings misses out a population at Broken Head - near Byron Bay.
