Common death adder (Acanthophis antarcticus)

Spotted these in the backyard in Melbourne this morning. Smaller and a lot quieter than rainbow lorikeets, but still pretty striking up close. Especially that red cap.

Saw this little guy smiling at me yesterday, gotta be the cutest ever I reckon

Weird shit on inside and what looks like a tail in second pic coming off of it. I hear weird noises and shit and there’s this imprint under my pillow doesn’t feel like a fold and is about the same width at the end of it as the thing that looks like a tail coming off the weird stuff on side of bed.

Located in Newcastle, NSW

Found this wichety grub looking thing dead in the creek in Brisbane. Just less than 1cm long in this posture. Any idea what it could be? I’ve never seen a red stripe on a grub like that. Thanks in advance

Please be careful when driving on Australian roads. Somebody hit this koala and left it writhing on the road to die. If you hit an animal at least stay with it and call wildlife carers to come and assist. We had to take this big fella after someone bowled him over and drove off!

Pardalote collecting nesting material for its underground nest at the end it shows them exiting the nest. These guys would nest behind our house every season.
