Vanishing Australian native wildlife
"The Invasive Species Council said... findings revealed the growing disconnect between Australians and wildlife, as local species declined while introduced animals – like cats, foxes and rabbits – became an increasingly familiar sight."
"About 10% considered cats wildlife."
"About one in six NSW, QLD and Vic residents think foxes are native animals and a third believe quolls are introduced."
"One in five thought cane toads were native."
“Sadly Australia is a world leader in extinctions." >>
