These are quokkas.
They are marsupials native to Western Australia, and wear a perpetual “Hey there! Good to see ya! Oh, you brought pie!” smile on their faces.  They are endangered and protected.  There is a $300 fine just for petting them.

Meet the Pangolin.



If this is a familiar creature to you, forgive my many pictures.  I was not at all aware of it and I am more than a little captivated.

Said to be the most widely trafficked mammal in the world, all eight pangolin species – which are native to Asia and Africa – are now categorized as “vulnerable”, “endangered” or “critically endangered” according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Endangered Species.

       


The main reason they are being threatened is the false belief that their scales can heal a multitude of diseases.

After seizing 12.9 tons of pangolin scales on 3 April, Singapore seized another 12.7 tons on 8 April. In both instances, the scales were in containers on their way to Vietnam from Nigeria. The previous record seizure of pangolin scales was in Shenzhen, China, in 2017, when 11.9 tons were seized. Altogether, it is estimated that the scales were from 38,000 pangolins and were worth US$76.5 million.

           


 

Wombat faeces is cube-shaped.



Wombats produce around 80 to 100 pieces of excrement each night and until recently no one knew why it was cube-shaped. But in 2018, researchers concluded that it's the wombat's intestines, which are made up of some "stretchy" and some "stiff" sections, that create "the edges and the cubing" during the digestive process.

There is a species of jellyfish that never dies.



Known as Turritopsis dohrnii—or colloquially, the immortal jellyfish—this sea creature is able to revert back into its adolescent state after going through adulthood, a "process that looks remarkably like immortality."

Like all jellyfish, Turritopsis dohrnii begins life as a larva, called a planula, which develops from a fertilized egg. A planula swims at first, then settles on the sea floor and grows into a cylindrical colony of polyps. These ultimately spawn free-swimming, genetically identical medusae—the animals we recognize as jellyfish—which grow to adulthood in a matter of weeks.

Fully grown, Turritopsis dohrnii is only about 4.5 mm (0.18 inches) across, smaller than a pinky nail. A bright-red stomach is visible in the middle of its transparent bell, and the edges are lined with up to 90 white tentacles. These tiny, transparent creatures have an extraordinary survival skill, though. In response to physical damage or even starvation, they take a leap back in their development process, transforming back into a polyp. In a process that looks remarkably like immortality, the born-again polyp colony eventually buds and releases medusae that are genetically identical to the injured adult. In fact, since this phenomenon was first observed in the 1990s, the species has come to be called “the immortal jellyfish.”

Tasmanian devils born on Australian mainland after 3,000 years

Tasmanian devils have been born on the Australian mainland for the first time in thousands of years.

Conservationists introduced the species back into a sanctuary north of Sydney in late 2020.

Now, around 3,000 years after the marsupials vanished from the mainland, the first joeys have been born in the wild.
