Threatened Species Day!
Friday the 7th of September was National Threatened Species Day (here in Australia)! It is on the 7th of September every year because that is the date of the death of the last know Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger). It remembers a very sad day, but is also a reminder to look after our current wildlife, to make sure that future generations still have the amazing, unique animals that we have today. Of course, I'm going to link this to possums. The Mountain Pygmy Possum and Leadbeater's Possum are two beautiful, shy Victorian species that future generations may not be able to see, will not be able to unless we are careful. Threatened Species Day is a good reminder that we are losing animals that not everyone even knows exists. Did you do anything for Threatened Species Day? If you did, or would have liked to, you can leave a coment if you like, someone else might be inspired by your idea, and maybe even try it.
