Do you have a dog?

Do you have dogs? Do you take them out for walks in the evening or at night? And do you live near possums? If the answer to all three questions is yes, then please keep this in mind: Dogs can seriously injure possums, and other wildlife as well. If you take your dogs through a park with possums while the possums are awake then please keep them on a leash. This one, simple action can save the lives of native animals.

Lost and found

Eric Wilkinson was 22 years old and the assistant of the curator of fossils at the Melbourne Museum on the 3rd of April 1961. He was on his first field trip when he made an amazing rediscovery: Leadbeater's possum. The possum had been thought to be extinct for 50 years, and now there was photographic evidence that they still existed. Definintely a fantastic descovery.
