    Just remember folks - don’t go taking them from the wild. Here in Australia we’ve had several populations absolutely decimated by overcollecting. You may think “oh it’s just one” but if lots think the same thing then it’s lots of animals gone.

      @@bugloverspiderlover8490 Is that such a good idea? I heard it's not good releasing animals back into the wild that you have bred. You could introduce diseases into the wild. Unless you make very sure that there is zero cross-contamination from other animals in your collection. But I could be wrong tho.

      It's fine. Australia is second in the world when it comes to loss of biodiversity anyway. So with human behaviour and climate change most animals will go extinct soon so you won't have to worry about it.

When we go on nature walks alone, we're never truly alone. All of the critters we see, we hear, we find, and all the ones that we know are there but can't see just yet. It's okay to do these things on our own, because it's a very much needed reminder of the things that we discover when our attention isn't elsewhere

If you were a crayfish person...MO has more species of crayfish than any other state I believe, with some only existing in one body of water. More than half are threatened or endangered.

      oh wow good to know! & yes it's actually quite funny, because one time I walked into a pet store as fish and wildlife were removing all their crawfish for sale lol. Apparently we can't keep them as pets here because of some environmental risks.

    Great family video. Very cool. Lots of awesome finds. My son would love this place. Wish we got half of those here in Northern Ireland.

    I really enjoyed watching this - what a beautiful area! Would love to hear more from Peter too, his knowledge and passion are both very obvious.
