Wild Oz Wednesday 🐨 

🐨 Koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) 🐨 are tree-dwelling marsupials whose diet mainly consists of eucalyptus leaves. While eucalyptus is toxic to most mammals, koalas have evolved digestive systems that neutralize the toxins.

A beautiful Eastern Brown Snake from #Redbank 😁 This cheeky bugger found his way into our client's bathroom! They wisely closed the door, jammed a towel underneath, and gave us a call. Safely moved to the creek down the street 🐍🐍🐍 Plenty of animals looking to cool down in this heat, keep screens and doors shut during the warm seasons to avoid scaly visitors 😁 For any #snakey enquiries call Snake Out Brisbane - 0456 880 903 🐍🐍🐍 #snakeseason #snakecatcher #snakeremoval #brownsnake #wildlife #Brisbane #Australia #snakesofig #snakesofinstagram #reptilesofinstagram #wildoz #nature #BNE #QLD #elapid #snakes (at Redbank, Queensland, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5WrSKKgiWz/?igshid=1at74x6bqfavd

@gemmadeavin was quite amused to hear the term "bogey bird" (I insist it's pronounced "boogie") and to me, that is exactly what the red-browed pardalote represents- a photographic troublemaker. I lived in their habitat for a year and didn't end up getting a decent image, and on repeated trips through their range I'd missed them. Finally, within view of Uluru, I succeeded! - - - #birdphotography #birdsofinstagram #exclusive_wildlife #feather_perfection #birdsofaustralia #pocket_birds #nuts_about_birds #ig_discover_birdslife #bb_of_ig #birdlovers #birdfreaks #allmightybirds #allnatureshots #udog_feathers #igbirds #kings_birds #elitebirds #your_best_birds #birdextreme #only_birds #bird_brilliance #eye_spy_birds #igscwildlife #majestic_wildlife #bestnatureshots #global4nature #birdselite #wildoz (at Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park)

Cheeky little Carpet Python from #FigTreePocket this morning, found a snack in a local chook shed. Be aware that small outdoor pets and poultry are on the #PythonMenu so keen enclosed in a secure coop or with 5x5mm aviary mesh. Relocated this little #fatty down the road to the river :) For any snakey enquiries call @snakeoutbris on 0456880903 🐍🐍🐍#snake #Brisbane #bne #australia #carpetsnake #carpetpython #snakesofinstagram #reptiles #reptilesofinstagrams #wildoz (at Fig Tree Pocket, Brisbane) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5JVqZeA6mz/?igshid=j4dhrxxzjo1w
