Dead Dingo

4X4, Australia, Kimberley, Landscape, mammals, Uncategorised, WA, WA, Wildlife

Today we move from the Dashing Dingo to a dead one, roadkill in a remote part of the Kimberley. The Doc was saddened by this find, as the female dingo was heavily pregnant and probably killed by someone traveling fast along the road. With her enlarged nipples and stomach, the bitch was not long from giving birth to a litter. It was fresh kill, so the body was not bloated, just enlarged from the litter.

The Doc is still making his way through images from the Excellent Adventure. This time we visit AWC’s Piccaninny Plains Station (Ranch) up in Cape York. These are  giant tree frogs from our night wildlife spotting. It is the biggest species of tree frog in the world (shared with a frog from Cuba). Click to see full size image.

Also known as an albino echidna because of its lighter colour. The other name is pale-coloured echidna which is more accurate, as it is much lighter in colour than the mainland echidna.

The Kangaroo Island Tamar Wallaby or Notamacropus eugenii decres. Kangaroo Island is full of wildlife, which took a beating in the recent bushfires. The Doc visited for three weeks in 2014, about 8 years after the last big fire (full report here). Roadkill was plentiful as the wildlife was abundant. Click on image to see full size.
