3 ants wrestling, another 4 in attendance. The wrestling ants were locked together for the whole time I watched, seemed to be a serious altercation. The attendant ants stayed interested but didn't join in. What were they doing? They were all the same species, was one an intruder from another group?

Description

I have no real idea. I thought possibly ants, but none seen around and none emerged when I tapped it. Also this was the only structure of its type I saw. Not a wet area, it was in a sandy track at the top of the range. Habitat is heathy woodland, ironbarks, stringybarks, grass-trees, bush peas, dianellas

Date

Description

Audio from a video recording, with two screenshots to show action. This is a recording demostrating the calls of a subordinate male koala responding to the approach of a dominant male. All the vocalisations are from the subordinate male, the dominant male made no sound.

The subordinate male was handing upside down at the end of the branch and could go no further, vocalising. The dominant male was grabbing at him, but the contact was fairly light and ceased soon after this. Filmed by Brett.

Both males are known to me, the dominant male is Winberry who had been living in this area for 8 years at this time. The subordinate male is Bindjali, who had been seen on and off from 2013, but not very frequently.

Recording converted from mp4 in premiere elements, then reduced to mono in Audacity. No noise removal or amplification applied.

High in Yellow Gum, spooked by a Koala climbing up into its space. Flew out with a squawk, landed nearby. Over the next ten minutes moved up into a mistletoe where it couldn't be seen. Light colour and small size compared to Grey-headed Flying-fox, also vocalisation was quite different.

TYo Common Ringtail possums and a koala sharing a Cherry Ballart Exocarpos cupressiformis on a warm day. It is not unusual for either species to roost in these trees on hot days, but a little more unusual to see them roosting in the same tree. Last pic is compiled from two photos overlaid to show the relative positions of the two species - pink for koala, blue for ringtails. Observation duplicated for each species.

Description

Audio from a video recording, with four screenshots to show action. This is the third of 3 recordings demostrating the calls of a female koala in distress at the approach of a hostile male. The vocalisations from 00:00 to 00:02 & at 00:04 are from the female, after that all from the male. By this time he had broken off contact, and moved down the tree.

Note, this occurred outside of breeding season, and appeared to be a fight/warning rather than a mating attempt. Filmed by Kirby.

Recording converted from mp4 in premiere elements, then trimmed in Audacity. No noise removal or amplification applied.
