Niche by Nature - Wildlife Relocation and Rescue

03/02/2025

Poor Croc… Hoping it’s not going to now be terrorised. Anyone else see the pattern with our wildlife strategies? We create the negative change and impact, the animals adapt as they are amazing at doing that, it then inconveniences part of society and then it’s apparently their fault and they pay our consequences. Plain example is the dingoes on K’gari/Fraser Island, but there is so many species we have caused problems for and continue to do so!

There is not an over population of crocs as people may say, that is the biggest load of flies. Go see for yourself in FNQ.

And like previously stated, it’s nothing new. We get the odd crocodile down here every now and again. They’ve been here long before us and they adapt better than we ever will. I hope humanity finds a balance very soon because if we continue the way we are, we will have nothing left to enjoy of the beautiful places we live and the wildlife we share it with.

⚠️ Crocodile Sighting at Inskip Point⚠️

Wildlife officers are investigating after an estimated two-metre crocodile was seen on the beach near the Sarawak camping area at Inskip Point (near Rainbow Beach).

A ranger saw the croc on the beach and photographed the tracks and markings (pictured). Wildlife officers are now conducting patrols and using drones to locate the animal.

People in the area are strongly urged to remain vigilant around the water:

👉 Stay away from the water’s edge

👉 Supervise children and pets closely:

👉 Use an esky or a similar object as a barrier between you and the water

Wildlife officers will be notifying people in camping areas near Inskip Point and install recent crocodile sight warning signs. 🗣

The animal is likely to be the same crocodile recently videoed on Coonarr Beach, near Bundaberg.

Crocodile sightings can be reported by using the QWildlife app, completing a crocodile sighting report on the DETSI website: https://environment.desi.qld.gov.au/wildlife/animals/living-with/crocodiles/report-crocodile or by calling 1300 130 372. The department investigates every crocodile sighting report received.

Please keep an eye out for the Landcare troopy and an ear out for any possible involvement. Stealing either way is a horrible thing to do, but especially from a group that is doing the very best to help the planet you live on….

STOLEN!

It aggrieves us to say, but the Noosa and District Landcare depot at Pomona was broken into over the weekend and our trainee mobile, the trusted Troopy has been stolen along with other smaller items.

Local police have been informed of the break-in and theft, but if anyone sees the vehicle or has any information about the car or the break-in at our depot please call our office on 07 5485 2468. The licence plate is 189 ZEB.

As we start a new group of trainees very soon, we need to find her!

Please feel free to share this post around and get the word out.

Thanks community 🌱

The patterning on these Pink Tongue Skinks is something only nature could create. Holding evolutions history in my hands. Dinosaurs evolved from the same common ancestor as snakes and lizards around 230 million years ago so science says… but who knows! It could be even more and I feel that in itself is pretty bloody cool. 🦎

Eastern long necked turtle - Chelodina longicollis 🐢

Pretty little lady was attempting to cross the road on dark. Turtles are amazing at locating and navigating water sources. So if you find one crossing the road chances are they are heading to a dam/creek on the other side. Pick them up safely, usually around the edge of their shell behind the front legs to avoid their sharp feet digging in to you, and place them a safe distance from the road on the other side (the way they were heading). Otherwise if it’s in a spot there is no known bodies of water, take them to the closest creek or dam.

Interesting fact: They are also known as “Stinkers” as they can eject a pungent liquid secretion from glands at their armpits and groin when handled or disturbed 💚

Found a bush cinnamon scroll at work today,
Also known as a Coastal Carpet Python all curled up.

Feel like it was an older snake, looked like it had a cataract or an old eye injury so I’m assuming it’s seen some stuff throughout its years. Biggest one I’ve seen in a while, thick and at least 3 metres long. I’d guess it would be at minimum 15 years old if not older. Studies suggest they can live over 100 years! 🐍

A sequence of photos of our local snake rearranging my hair…

Love seeing them doing their thing in the wild where they belong - it is now sitting on top of the chook feeder waiting for a rat to come along. Amazing how they can smell and sense where food is, using their forked tongues to find it.🐍💚

This little Brown Tree Snake hanging out in the backyard was pretty darn cute! I love their wide cat looking eyes. Had a good admire and let it go on its merry way exactly where I found it. How lucky we are to have the wildlife we do here in Australia, and all in our backyards! It’s important that we protect it, because without it the environment in which we live will suffer immensely.

Happy co-existing! 🤎🌳🐍

Xenochrophis piscator - Otherwise an easier mouthful they are known as Keelbacks (Water snake) - These little guys are the only snake in Australia known to eat a cane toad without any complications from the toxins toads produce. Any other snake tries that and it will without a doubt kill them. Overtime they have built a natural immunity.

I’m sick of hearing the phrase “Only good snakes a dead snake”, it’s outdated and completely uneducated. As every creature on earth has a role to play in the balance of nature, snakes do to. The only creature that is out of balance is humans.

It’s likely on your encounters in Australia you will come across snakes, so it pays to educate yourself as they can be harmless and the best policy is to just let them be! 🐍
