Travelling today and drove past this absolutely heartbreaking sight, only metres from the road on a busy route. It was raining and this little joey was freezing cold and terrified. I snapped a quick photo as I gently approached him, he looked up at me and gave a weak chitter. I scooped him up and tucked him into my warm cardigan, mud and all. He is warmed now and seems to be okay.
How I wish people would stop and check what they hit :'(
UPDATE: 24 hours later- joey is warm, alert and drinking well. He's going to be fine 😊

For Our Elders – NAIDOC Week 2023 (July 2nd – July 9th)
As this year’s NAIDOC Week begins, Raptor Reptiles would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to our incredible Elders within the Indigenous community.
Our Elders have been the keepers of knowledge, the custodians of culture, and the pillars of resilience throughout generations. They have preserved and passed down stories, traditions, and wisdom, ensuring the survival and growth of our Indigenous heritage. It is vital now more than ever that we take time to connect with those who possess this knowledge. We must reflect the past, embrace the present, and look forward to the emerging future of tomorrow.
During NAIDOC Week, it is essential that we recognise and appreciate the tremendous contributions our Elders have made, not just to their own families and communities, but to the broader Australian society. They have been the advocates, the leaders, and the teachers, paving the way for future generations and advocating for the rights and recognition of Indigenous peoples.
Throughout NAIDOC Week, there will be events and activities dedicated to honouring our Elders and showcasing their invaluable contributions. Let's participate in these events, engage with our Elders, and create spaces where their voices are heard and respected.
To all the Elders in our Indigenous communities, thank you for your resilience, guidance, and love. Your legacy is an inspiration to us all, and we are forever grateful for your presence in our lives.
Raptor Reptiles would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of this land; the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island People of Australia. We pay our respects to Elders of the past, the present and emerging and extend our respects to all Indigenous Peoples.

Vets are four times more likely to die by su***de than the general population. On average, a vet dies by su***de every 12 weeks.

An important reminder for all animal lovers and pet owners. Protect our vets and vet nurses and treat them with respect and praise for their amazing and tireless work.

Today is Sir David Attenborough’s birthday! 🎉

The legendary natural historian and conservationist turns 97 today, after a lifetime spent championing the cause of the natural world around us.

Back in 2017 Sir David was made a lifetime patron of the AM and had a genus of Tasmanian snail named after him, Attenborougharion 🐌

It isn’t the first time Sir David has had a species named after him, in fact to date there are more than 50 living or extinct species that have been named in his honour.

They include everything from a tiny goblin spider to a long-beaked echidna and everything in-between 🕷

Their blood stained the land, as they served with pride. A duty to their master, they stood side by side. From the sky, to the sea, through a vast open land, together they fought—both animal and man. They flew through the sky, as messengers on wing dodging bombs and bullets, for salvation to bring.
