Seed Biologist, Dr Gemma Hoyle is working out what our 'Survive and Thrive' seeds need to germinate – not always easy when it comes to Australia's flora! parkstrust.org.au/project/surviv…

An Australian native, the Eastern Chestnut mouse is up to twice the body length of the house mouse and three to four times the weight 🐀🐁! This one was recorded at Booderee NP

You may never see them in person, but isn't the world a better place for having these beautiful blue-tailed skinks in it!
A captive breeding program is keeping this critically endangered skink safe until it can be released back into its Christmas Island home.

Do you call a gathering of hermit crabs a 'cast', or a 'consortium'? Either way, we are talking about a lot of hermit crabs 🦀!
This 'cast' was photographed in @PuluKeeling - one of the iconic National Parks where we support on-ground conservation.
