A rare and heartbreaking find.
This beautiful Chuditch, or Western Quoll (Dasyurus geoffroii), was found after being struck on the road. She was carrying six tiny joeys in her pouch.
Chuditch are one of WA’s most remarkable native carnivorous marsupials. Once widespread across much of Australia, they are now mainly found in the south-west of Western Australia and are listed as Vulnerable.
To find one is unusual. To lose a breeding female and six joeys is devastating.
Please slow down at dawn, dusk and night, especially near bushland and forested roads. If you find injured or deceased wildlife, only stop where it is safe and contact your local wildlife rescue group for advice.
Slow down. Scan the road. Save our wildlife.

The kind of dog-and-possum story we love to share. 🐾🌿
Meet Lemmy, a beautiful Australian Shepherd came home with a very unexpected little friend — a critically endangered Western Ringtail Possum safely perched on board.
Sadly, wildlife carers more often receive possums that have been badly injured by dog attacks, so this gentle encounter is a rare and heart-warming exception.
A big thank you to the family for recognising this little possum needed help and doing the right thing.
Please remember: even friendly pets can accidentally harm wildlife. Keep dogs supervised, especially at night, and if you find an injured or displaced possum, do not handle unless advised — call your local wildlife rescue group for help.
Best friends? Maybe. Best outcome? Definitely. 💚

Wildlife has no wallet.
No Medicare card.
No ambulance cover.
No payment plan.
They arrive injured, orphaned, displaced, trapped, cold or in crisis — and FAWNA volunteers answer the call.
For 40 years, FAWNA has helped wildlife across the South West through rescue, transport, veterinary support, feeding, housing, rehabilitation and release.
FAWNA is 100% volunteer-powered, but wildlife welfare still costs money.

From old water tank shed to cygnet shelter — this is sustainability in action.💚
At FAWNA, we believe caring for wildlife also means caring for the world they depend on. That’s why we’re always looking for ways to Recycle, Reuse, Rethink and Repurpose.
A heartfelt thank you to Herbert, who has generously donated his old water tank wood shed. Rather than going to waste, it will be given a brand-new purpose as a safe shelter for rescued cygnets at our new “Swan Lake” enclosure at the FAWNA Flight Academy in Ludlow.
Every donated item, every thoughtful gesture, and every act of community kindness helps us build better spaces for wildlife in care.
One person’s old shed becomes a cygnet’s safe place to grow.✨

This handsome southern brown bandicoot boy discovered the hard way that confidence is not the same as clearance.
After attempting what appears to have been a very ambitious squeeze-through-the-fence manoeuvre, he became firmly wedged — possibly due to being a little too well-rounded for the escape route he had chosen.
To make matters worse, he had selected a truly terrible parking spot right beside a bull ant nest, and the ants were already forming an enthusiastic welcoming committee.
Thankfully, a kind passerby spotted him in time and called for help. He has a few nasty gashes and no doubt a bruised ego, but he’s expected to make a full recovery.
We’re hoping his next life lesson is: measure twice, squeeze once. #southernbrownbandicoot #quenda #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wild
