🌙🐾 Night-time drama in the canopy – captured by de Witt Ecology! 🎥🌿
Our remote camera monitoring on the NSW Central Coast recently captured this incredible footage: a Sugar Glider (Petaurus breviceps) headbutting and pushing a Black Rat (Rattus rattus) from a tree while competing for bait.
This rare glimpse into nocturnal wildlife interactions highlights the challenges our native species face from introduced animals. While small and agile, Sugar Gliders are fierce competitors, especially when resources are limited.
