Unusual Things in Nature in Tasmania

What is this?


 
While hiking in many areas of Tasmania you are likely to find these things scattered around. They are the unique shaped “poo” of our wonderful wombats. This particular one was found in the Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park, World Heritage Area, which is the largest National Park on the Island.

 

How Many Blue Tongue Lizards?


 
These beautiful blue tongue lizards were all tied up together. If you guessed correctly there are 4 of them. Their camouflage makes it tricky to count. Blue tongue lizards are the largest lizard found in Tasmania. 

Rare Golden Possum

This beautiful golden possum is very rare. In the wild he would be easy prey for bigger animals. This guy was found in a back yard in suburbia as a baby and lived in a wildlife sanctuary close to Hobart where he was safe from any harm coming to him
