This beautiful clownfish is endemic to the shallow reefs of north-west Australia. Juvies have three white stripes along their body, losing the two as they grow. 🧡 They were photographed from Darwin Harbour, where they live in small family groups amongst Bubble-tip Anemones! 🐟

In Italy, where fascism was invented, the most extreme government since 1945 has come to power. In Britain, where fascism is the unspoken, the most extreme government since 1945 has come to power. Spot the difference.

How beautiful is this Red-lined Flabellina! 💜🧚🏼 These incredible aeolid nudibranchs spend their days sliding along coral reefs feeding on athecate hydroids! 🌊 I was blown away when @LucynakWild spotted two at low-tide in Darwin, it was the first time we had seen them!

#SmallCarnivores make excellent sentinels of #GlobalChange. Our #perspective in #MammalReview highlights the benefits of thinking middle-out and not only top-down/bottom-up when it comes to monitoring and evaluating #EnvironmentalChange

By showing that dingoes influence eagles' diets we illustrate how pervasive apex predators effects on ecosystems can be. In the Strzelecki Desert, kangaroos and bearded dragons are more abundant and are consumed more by nesting eagles where dingoes are rare @alvesmjoel

Dingoes have greater suppressive effect on foxes than poisoning campaigns! Our surveys of dingo and fox activity in forests show that fox activity was greater in areas that were poison baited than unbaited areas where dingoes were common @dr_danielhunter publish.csiro.au/AM/AM21036

The amount Elon Musk just paid for Twitter ($44 billion) is nearly equal to Biden’s proposed climate budget ($44.9 billion), in case anyone's wondering how seriously we’re taking the climate crisis

Fact Check. DNA studies show there are practically no feral dogs or F1 dingo x dog hybrids living in the wild across Australia. Most wild canines are pure dingoes or carry predominately dingo ancestry. Stop spreading the wild dog myth tinyurl.com/3n69fcxn

Happy to be able to share the release of “Our Great National Parks” currently on Netflix. I was fortunate enough to be able to film the magpie goose and croc sequence with @esaltau and assisted by @LucynakWild and @nvolpewild in Kakadu! Narrated by @BarackObama
