Happy naming!!

He is a Northern Brushtail Possum (Trichosurus velpecular arnhemensis) who accidently left Barrow Island in a bin and now cannot be returned, as the Island is a quarantined area to protect the endangered species that live there. A Barrow Island possum differs from the mainland possums in that he is smaller and as there are few trees to climb on the Island his tail is shorter, less curly and bushier. You may see him soon on one of our Education Team excursions.

This Eastern States Blue Skink was found in a truck that had travelled from the east. It is unknown where he came from and therefore he cannot be returned. He has settled in to share space with Yorna, our resident bobtail (Yorna is the indigenous word for bobtail).

Kanyana has fans as far afield as Glenshee, Scotland! Check out this email we recieved:

Hi folks,

Just been watching you on SkyTV here in Scotland, it's the episode with the bandicoot and the wee wallaby jumping around the house which sadly died & I felt so sorry watching June and the possum BUT it's only because of the hard work that's been put in that actually has made the release possible!
