デビッド・ポーコックさんのインスタグラム写真 - (デビッド・ポーコックInstagram)「I took this photo near Namadgi National Park. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ I was amazed to learn that Emu have been kicking around the Australian continent since the Middle Miocene (11-15 million years)! They're the second tallest bird in the world after the ostrich.⠀ ⠀ There were three other dwarf Emu subspecies alive in 1788 - on Kangaroo Island, King Island and Tasmania - with all three extinct by 1865. ⠀ ⠀ It’s another reminder of how many species have been lost and how important it is to be taking the current extinction crisis seriously. ⠀ ⠀ #wildlifewednesday #canberra #emu #canon⠀ ⠀」5月22日 17時47分
