Critically endangered regent honeyeater pair found in gippsland region and have just been identified.
The female was found dead this week in one of the oldest known areas of Gippsland where hives have been found, the county’s wildlife authority said.
Wildlife officers believe the young female was dumped in the area on September 11 by some sort of predator.
One witness sai청주출장안마출장 안마d the pair had been mating for three days before she was discovered by a farmer’s son this week.
One of the males, found dead next to the female, had a deep gill in his belly, while another of the species was spotted in a patch of bush, just below the ground, on Sunday aft카지노ernoon.
The second male was described as a black male in his late teens, about 2.5 metres long and weighing 3.5 kilograms.
A number of gippsland residents said they would like more details about the discovery before making any plans to remove them.
«I want it back… I’m going to remove some of the males,» one man said, without elaborating.
Meanwhile, an expert from a zoo has raised the possibility that another species might be among the remains.
Dr Neil Roberts said if the male was another species that lives in the area, «you’d get them a long way from me».
Earlier the zoo said it had recovered the remains of one of the two surviving individuals.
Gippsland County Commissioner Andrew Trelle said the remains were fou파라오 카지노nd about 200 metres from where the dead bird was found.
Dr Roberts said he believed the two males were likely to be related.
«They’re probably related by some sort of breedable trait and maybe they’re twins or brothers at least, or they’re the twin that was found dead two days ago which has some of their genes,» he said.
«I don’t know that it’s a clear link and I just hope somebody comes forward.»
Gippsland’s wildlife authority issued an urgent call to people in the area after the discovery, which also happened in South Gippsland, North Gippsland and south of the Gold Coast.
The authorities have opened an inquiry with support from conservationists and environmentalists.
Dr Roberts said there might be a risk of some of the birds becoming too numerous for his animal park and it could lead to their potential extinction.
«We have to understand the genetics and they might all be affected in certain ways,» he said
