And then there were none: Australia’s only shrew declared extinct

The tally of Australian mammals extinct since 1788 is now 39 species – far more than for any other country It’s official: the only Australian shrew is no more.

The dekotora, large decorated trucks covered in colour and bright lights, were once a common sight across Japan. Now they are fighting for survival.

More than a hobby, Japan's decorated trucks are an addiction for some

There's fucking yaoi art on a train by my house I'm fucking losing my mind, this rules so much

Anime styled graffiti art on a train car depicting a male demon looking seductively at another man while saying "That's a good boy", with the phrase "kiss yr homies goodnight" in the bottom left corner.
Artist seems to be "Akira BPD"

One last set of mountains for this trip, because this has clearly turned into a bit.

A view of the lake and mountains from the grounds of a hotel. A picnic table is in the foreground, partially obscured by shrubs.

Fandom is amazing in the weirdest ways. I stepped off a tour thing and waved at @stickmarionette.bsky.social who was getting on the tour thing.

お疲れさまです☆

お月様🌕🐇🐇
中秋の名月と満月ハーベストムーン
うさぎ団子も頂きました🎑

2日連続でしたがどっちも撮れました
違いはほぼわかりませんけど満月の時の方が少しだけ明るかった気がした

同じ時間ぐらいに撮りましたけど満月の日はちょっと雲が多くて出たり隠れたりしてました☆

We've travelled far enough that sunset is 20 minutes later than the city we flew into. 🧐

The air-raid style emergency sirens they use down here were a surprise and I had to look them up, have heard them twice today now.

Today was a bit of a mixed bag, we left on time but then a really bad crash happened near the cafe we had morning tea at. Nobody was seriously hurt, but we missed the glowworm cave cruise and couldn't rebook 😭

At least tomorrow's cruise is happening, that was looking iffy too!

Love this concise but devastating eagle call reveal. Second only to “geographically improbable loon noises” for things that immediately inflame the ol’ birding lobe of the brain

Thank you to the Alaska Raptor Center for telling the truth that birders already knew: every bald eagle cry you hear in an advertisement is a red-tailed hawk.
