So if you see a platypus, upload your sightings.
It's super helpful for us.
It gives us really a much better understanding of
where they occur and in what numbers.
I would also recommend if you can, like if you live near any rivers, pick up any rubbish.
If you see like circular items, so we're talking like hair ties, rubber bands, anything circular that might entangle a platypus, kind of make sure you cut them up before they go into the bin and then remove any like fishing lines.
So if you
If you fish, if you utilize rivers or anything like that, make sure you take those fishing line with you because we do see, unfortunately, a lot of platypuses.
They get entangled and they drown.
Bummer.
And then I think like joining community groups that are getting involved with like replanting.
So, you know, revegetation.
I said platypus, they really need those nice banks to build their burrows.
So we really want to try and, you know, plant more trees, plant more vegetation that's going to hold that soil together.
That's going to help them, you know,
create their burrows and also encourage all those lovely water bugs back into the system that they need to eat.
Yeah, so macroinvertebrate water bugs, they'll pretty much eat, like, whatever's around, to be honest.
They're kind of like a generalist.
They've got a few species that they're kind of really keen on, but, yeah, generally whatever's available.
Like, you know, they can't really distinguish between different species with their bill, so they're kind of just snapping up whatever's around.
