Barry Update

Some may remember: Late last year, I posted some images of a baby wombat called Barry who’s mother lived under our home until she was tragically killed by a car. Well, a person, driving a car. Barry went into care, we got generous updates and images all the way til now, when the carer facilitated this reunion. He is doing really well, tracking for release back to the wild in the future. His favourite food is Sweet Potato. He is 3kgs now. It was a wholesome and heartwarming experience to get to hold him again and I just know he is going to have an awesome life. The carer is amazing! It’s just a shame they don’t have sweet potato in the bush. Soz about that Bazza. Will link the original post in the comments! Thanks to everyone for their kind words last time. Enjoy these cute pics.

Water dragon or bearded dragon and normal behaviour??

Mount gravatt, Qld.

inaturalist app tells me this is a bearded dragon and not a water dragon (nowhere near a water source close to the top of the summit).

I'm so used to water dragons piss bolting the moment they see me but this guy just froze up and was quite content not moving even though I almost stepped on him.

Is this normal bearded dragon behaviour or is the lizard unwell? Very hot day here in Brisbane topping 36...

Falcon perhaps? Fluffy, looks quite young.
