An Australian community for everything from your backyard to beyond the black stump.

Topics may include Aussie plants and animals, environmental, farming, energy, and climate news and stories (mostly Aus specific), etc. New related communities will be split off when required, think like subcommunities that exist on that other platform.

Trigger Warning: Community contains mostly bad environmental news (not by choice!). Community may also feature stories about animal agriculture and/or meat. Until tagging is available, please be aware and click accordingly.

The time has come to introduce our uninvited guests. We're looking at the top 10 most destructive introduced animals (and plants) in Australia. But why are they so devastating? And how did they end up here? All this and more will be explored as we delve into the world of the ferals.

Rattus, Modigliana, Derryn and Mixy?

There is a reference to Mixy in the video.

I still think it's pretty funny they named a rabbit on a kids show "Mixy".

Now there are some names I haven't heard in a long time.

The Age of Mythology music cueing up at about 5:00 threw me off. Was not expecting that here, considering how much I've heard it lately with the recent release of Retold. !aom@lemm.ee

Cats and rats and rabbits were obvious, but I was surprised to see things like cattle and goats make the list.

We eat Easter Bilbies in this house, damn it.

Where? I haven't seen them in stores for years.
