Feeding wildlife
Read about the impacts of feeding wildlife with a number of case studies highlighting the impact.
Platypus
The platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is a semi-aquatic monotreme. Information on appearance, distribution, habitat, diet, breeding, threats to survival, protected status and how the public can help.
Water rat
Well adapted to their watery world, water rats have a streamlined body, webbed hind paws and a flat furry tail for a rudder. Glossy fur protects them from the cold. They hunt fiercely, favouring tree-roots as regular feeding spots on the bank. Look for broken shells and open mussels.
