New article published looking at the behaviour of hippos in Botswana and how it varies throughout the day, seasonally, and in different areas. Very little research done on this topic, so feeling happy to get this info out there 🦛🇧🇼

Just astounding - an ecosystem collapse event & no emergency response. Look at it! I can’t believe not 1 Minister or responsible MP with levers to engage a logistics response has turned up or is doing a thing! @Dom_Perrottet @AlboMP @James_HGriffin @tanya_plibersek #nswpol

Woohoo just managed to scrape in a publication in 2022!
New methods paper on how to study hippos with the drone, even when they are being uncooperative and half under the water.

So useful if you need to keep an eye on those sneaky drones. Nothing worse than flying all day and realising FOR NO REASON it deciding not to take some photos.
Probably my most useful publication. Need to check the drone has done what it was supposed to? Heres how you can do it - before its too late! ⏰ mdpi.com/2504-446X/6/12/395

What an incredible week at the #SAWMA2022 conference talking Australian flying-foxes and drones, and hearing from scientists and reserve managers about wildlife management issues faced in Southern Africa. Thank you so much @SAWMA_wildlife and @AWMSociety for your support! – at Cape Town, South Africa
Yay #SAWMA2022 is on! Massive shoutout to @AWMSociety for the travel grant to attend the conference. Can't wait to talk hippos again!! Also props to @SAWMA_wildlife for the nicest conference bags ever 😍

I can't get over this. The Chinese paddlefish survived for 190 MILLION YEARS. It survived the mass extinction event that killed off the dinosaurs. It had existed on Earth for almost one thousand times longer than Homo Sapiens - yet we destroyed it, forever.

Our camera traps have spent 4 months in the field for our Landcare Bushfire Recovery Project capturing over 550,000 images. These images will help us to understand which of our precious animals are being impacted post fire and how.

New publication on freshwater turtle health and environmental flows based on my first piece of research in my honours year! What a journey 🥰 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/shar…
Managed to sneak a publication right at the end of the year! New paper looks at temporal and spatial patterns in the #hippo populations in the Okavango Delta.

Even a short period of isolation from ferals caused juvenile wallabies to become naive, but they quickly regained their wariness once re-released into the wild. Therefore it IS possible to headstart naive species without impacting future survival #WildOz zslpublications.onlinelibrar…
New bird paper led by the amazing @_Maxxed_Out_. Very cool stuff and so chuffed to have been able to help out on this one🐦🦆🦢🦅🦜

Wasabi wins the Westminster Dog Show in the US - sitting on a cooling pack to stop him overheating (in the air-conditioned arena...). Second pic, what a champ Peke looks like on the inside. The terrible price these poor dogs pay for human vanity.

There are reports of Green Tree Frogs (Litoria caerulea) dying around the #Sydney area at the moment. 😢
Please contact me if you've seen any dead #frogs recently - it's not a good sign & we need to understand how widespread this is and what is causing it. #WildOz @abcsydney
