Koalas, despite being marsupials, have evolved fingerprints so similar to human ones that forensic scientists must carefully examine prints at a crime scene if koalas are nearby (in Australia, of course). The ridges, whorls, and patterns match human fingerprints almost exactly — a striking case of convergent evolution. This trait likely developed to help koalas grip tree branches and leaves precisely. It’s fascinating how two unrelated species, separated by millions of years of evolution, developed such identical solutions to similar challenges — a reminder of how nature can solve problems with remarkably similar blueprints.

Have you heard of the Sunset Sanctuary? It was born from a dream by a man named Roy, who created a haven for vulnerable and endangered animals. Unfortunately, licensing issues threaten this wonderful place.

Please take a moment to sign the petition to support the sanctuary.

Save Sunset Sanctuary and the vulnerable and endangered animals that inhabit there

Joey's 😍😍
We are going to miss having Joeys to hand raise next year but it has come to a time that family has to come first and we just don't have the mental space to be dealing with so many enquiries.
The next couple of joey's are the last we will have for quite some time. I'm sure we will keep gliders again in the future as I simply love them but I don't know when that will be.

Sadly, recently it has become more annoying as the amount of people that simply waste our time is increasing. This maybe feels more annoying than previously as the constant calculations of managing my young daughters type 1 diabetes, making sure her bgl are in range is a 24/7 task. I don't have the mental space, people telling us they will put deposits through to hold and then extend the date of when they are going to put a deposit down and then simply ghost us. Why??

Please whenever you are purchasing anything from anyone make sure you are polite and honest. After all, we should all treat people the way we would like to be treated, shouldn't we?

Nick is one of the nicest guys I've ever meet. Our shared love of Australian wildlife has been the center of many conversations over the years and although we have only met breifly I truely concider him a friend.

Unfortunately his family have received tragic news and in order for him to continue to do what he loves he needs the online support of everyone watching and sharing his content.

We as a family have also made a tough decision to step back from DixiCreatures due to our daughters health it breaks my heart to see someone like Nick where the wildlife is such a massive part of his life be forced to do the same.

I am sure you will all enjoy watching and learning more about Australia's wicked wildlife. Once you have watched a couple of videos I would love for you to post below your favourite one of the wicked wildlife videos that you have watched so others can enjoy.

Take care everyone!!!

Hi all, so sorry for all the spam. I'm trying to delete the posts from Samkea Denis. Feel free to also report.

The only thing I hope you all get out of this is please be careful in purchasing gliders. I have seen a range of scams and have had people contact me that have previously been scammed.
