Reintroducing native marsupials

Summary:
A look at the Return to Dryandra Project, which aims to reintroduce some of western Australia's rare marsupials back into the wild. Included are the boodie, the mala, the banded hair wallaby and the western barred bandicoot, all of which have declinded in recent decades due to lose of native habitat and pressure from feral pests such as foxes and cats. In this report we go out at night and trap the marsupials, to check their condition and numbers.
Details or Transcript:
An ambitious project to return endangered species to their former habitats has received a good report card for its first nine months of operation. The Return to Dryandra Project is an initiative of CALM, the WA Department of Conservation and Land Management. In autumn this year four groups of endangered mammals were released into their new home into the Dryandra State Forest, 150 kms south west of Perth. The animals are housed in a 20 hectare enclosure surrounded by a 2metre high electrified fence. This is the first time a mammal breeding program has been attempted on this scale. Whereas Dr John Wamsley builds fences to keep feral animals out, the Dryandra fence is there to keep breeding animals in. And eventually, they'll all be released back into the wild. The boodie, the mala, the banded hair wallaby and the western barred bandicoot were brought as far as the Tanami Desert in the NT and islands off the coast of WA.
The boodie and the mala are cute furry wallabies that grow to about 20 centimetres. The mala has long ears like the European hare and the boodie has strong barwing claws. It also makes a funny farting sound as it hops along which adds to its appeal. I visited Dryandra during the first trapping program following the animals release into the enclosure. On a chilly winter's night we left the warm fire in our cottage to find out how the mala were adjusting to their new home.

Marsupials are animals that give live birth to their young after a brief gestation and that young spends the next part of babyhood in the mom's pouch. (A few marsupials, however, do not have a pouch.) Most marsupial babies permanently attach to a nipple until they develop to a more mature stage. At that time they detach and nurse at will. Marsupials normally have a lower body temperature and metabolic rate and slightly different digestive system than placental mammals. Their metabolic rate is normally 2/3 the rate of a placental mammal of the same size. When the babies are born after a brief gestation, they are not able to regulate their own body temperature and depend on the warmth from the mother's pouch. If they are detached from the nipple and removed from the pouch before they can regulate their own temperature, they will perish. Normally this regulation begins about 1/2 way through their life in the pouch.

Come and explore the "wild things" of Australia , with its amazing collection of animals found nowhere else in the world.
Marsupials
These are fascinating creatures mammals that carry their young in a pouch on their abdomen. At birth marsupials are underdeveloped - tiny, hairless, blind, with only partially formed hindlimbs but well developed forelimbs. Immediately after birth, the tiny marsupial uses its forelimbs to pull itself over the hair on its mother's abdomen, seeking a nipple to which it attaches itself. In most marsupials the nipples are inside a pouch, and here the baby is nourished on milk until fully developed. It remains in the pouch for several months as it continues to develop.

Furry friends. Australia has many unique and strange animals. Enclosed within this page are just a few of them posing for you in front of the camera. Most native Australian animals live in the bush and one should always remember they are wild animals! The friendly marsupials shown in the photos below can easily and quickly maim an unsuspecting child or adult. Kangaroos and wallabies are capable of tearing a person open with their toenails. Children should never be left unattended with such animals, no matter how friendly they appear. Grey Kangaroos. Meet Saxon our grandson with one of his friends. 'Skippy' the kangaroo likes a feed of grain now and then. Her half grown joey still prefers feeding from the pouch though and even tried to get into it after I took the photo. Kangaroos come in a variety of sizes and colours. This one is a grey, commonly found in the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range. Grey kangaroos grow to about 1 meter standing upright and make the best pets. Red Kangaroos.

Foreword
Marsupials and monotremes have not fared well since Captain Cook arrived in Australia a little over 200 years ago. Australia accounts for about one third of all mammal extinctions world-wide since 1600 and most extinct Australian mammals were marsupials. Currently, at least ten species and six subspecies of Australian marsupials are extinct and many more are threatened with extinction. Fortunately, neither species of monotreme is threatened. These figures, startling as they are, do not reflect the degree to which increasing numbers of species are under pressure regionally. In the central deserts about one third of all mammal species have disappeared, while in some heavily cleared agricultural areas over one quarter of marsupial species are locally extinct. Some marsupials are extremely rare. The Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat, for example, has been reduced to about 67 individuals, of which possibly only 15 are breeding females, while the Mala (the central Australian subspecies of the Rufous Hare-wallaby) became extinct in the wild in 1991 and now exists as about 150 animals in captivity and as one experimental re-introduction, which consists of only about 10 wild animals. And the recently rediscovered Gilbert's Potoroo is known from less than 50 individuals.

Conservation of Marsupials and Monotremes in Australia
This Action Plan reviews the conservation status of 209 taxa of Australian monotremes and marsupials: one species and three subspecies of monotremes and 112 species and 93 subspecies of marsupials. For taxa with extra-limital distributions (e.g. Sminthopsis archeri and Phalanger intercastellanus ) we have allocated conservation status only on the basis of their Australian distribution and abundance. (Allocation of IUCN categories to these taxa for the 1996 Red Book took account of their total range, see below.) Australia accounts for about one third of the world's mammal species that have become extinct in modern times (Groombridge 1993). Within the marsupials, ten species and six subspecies are presumed to be extinct ( Table 2 ) and many other taxa have declined drastically in range and abundance. Some 6.5% of marsupial species or 8% of marsupial species plus subspecies are extinct. Neither species of Australian monotreme is considered to be threatened; however, one subspecies of the echidna is listed in this Action Plan as Vulnerable.

endemic plants and animals, found nowhere else on Earth. Reports from early European explorers, who traveled to Australia, unsettled the people back home. They told stories of animals as fast and as big as greyhounds that could leap like grasshoppers (kangaroos), gigantic birds that could not fly (emus), and foxes that could (fruit bats)! Imagine their reaction to the platypus, an animal with the bill of a duck, the body and tail of a beaver, and the webbed feet of an otter. Most marsupials have a pouch, or at least a flap of skin, to protect their developing young. The only marsupials surviving outside of Australia are the opossums and opossum-rats of South, Central, and North America. n addition, introduced species /strong> International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) approximately 120 mammal species, 100 birds, 150 reptiles, 40 amphibians, 80 fish, 400 invertebrates and over 3,000 plants are threatened or endangered.

Quick Summary Dataset Detailed Summary Terrestrial Mammals ... Marine Mammals mam / mal: any of a class (Mammalia) of warm-blooded higher vertebrates (as placentals, marsupials, or monotremes) that nourish their young with milk secreted by mammary glands, have the skin usually more or less covered with hair and include humans A diverse group of vertebrates that have radiated widely, the mammals of Canada have adapted to nearly every conceivable ecological niche upon the land. Others have ‘re-adapted’ successfully to an aquatic mode of life, and some have evolved true flight. A small sampling of this variety include; bands of pronghorn jetting across a sea of brushland prairie, pika harvesting sedges on glacier-isolated nunataks, star-nosed moles tunneling through the rich soils of a maple-beech forest, woodchuck clans grazing on a grassy highway interchange, a maternal colony of little brown bats sheltered deep in a cave on the Canadian Shield, and the serpentine grace of a muskrat swimming through a cattail marsh. In total, two-hundred and fourteen species (covering 10 orders) are found in Canada - about 75% of which are associated with terrestrial, 5% with freshwater, and 20% with marine habitats. Just over a third (37%) of our terrestrial mammals are rodents (e.g., mice, voles, squirrels). Rodents and bats combined make a large contribution to the higher species richness found in northwestern North America and are the main reason that mammal diversity is considerably higher in the western parts of Canada than in the east. Alberta (90 species) and British Columbia (101 species) support over 50% of all species found in the country. In particular, BC is notable for having the highest number of mammal species found nowhere else in Canada (29), twenty-six more than Ontario, the next highest Province.
