You will also note  they the soft woods have burnt and  the gums are left behind, this is  because they take longer to dry out.  So much for the government  departments saying there was only willows  dozed out. They didn&#39;t even go  and have a look and if they did they  didn&#39;t know what they were looking   at. Maybe money talks. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; The words say: &quot;POLICE FAUNA :PLATYPUS (AFP)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the Earliest days of its establishment in 1979. the Australian Federal police has adopted the platypus as a symbol representing the diverse&amp;nbsp; requirements placed on its members in the execution of there duties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A platypus is truly unique and tenacious mammal which survives against increasing pressure from today&#39;s environment. It leaves no stone unturned in it&#39;s daily pursuits but is capable of passing unnoticed if required. The mammal displays an unfailing dedication to explore all possibilities in an effort to maintain its special place in Australia&#39;s environment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the Australian coat of arms (featuring the emu and the kangaroo) are prominent on the AFP badge, an AFP platypus logo is often displayed with the words&quot;Nulli Secundus&quot; (Latin for second to none).&quot;platypus&quot; is also the name of the AFP&#39;s cooperate publication.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pity they car&#39;nt stop the distruction of the real platypus and its habitat, there logo is under threat.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://platypus-australia.blogspot.com/feeds/4270203630254275173/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/237199576430329078/4270203630254275173' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/237199576430329078/posts/default/4270203630254275173'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/237199576430329078/posts/default/4270203630254275173'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://platypus-australia.blogspot.com/2010/03/australian-fedral-police.html' title='Australian fedral police'/><author><name>Raef</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02940475694408510246</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWiNA7idFpxEi2vgL18yjy3miALDsiUT6-hNCSrSf2glsD34qRxa5hf05YKZL_A-GBRqmK06veX6m7_5CPcPzegf_v-uX9S3yDWK4ZHDCerBoNtpcEhNWcHeeMUnJ9mnEVeMfZ7j7M2DxT/s72-c/police+008.JPG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237199576430329078.post-5543296539216213273</id><published>2010-03-11T02:31:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-11T02:31:36.097-08:00</updated><title type='text'>natures revenge</title><content type='html'>Land clearing with a buldoser&lt;br /&gt;
Well its been a while and the  results are in and it amazes me what nature can do.Weeds and more weeds.  Deadley night shade is plofirating by the millions.&lt;br /&gt;
Willows are  reestablishing them selves. The  poor old red gums are gone.&lt;br /&gt;
I  have compared these photos with the previous ones and it appears there  is about twenty feet of the bank gone. You will also notice the willows are regenerating in the piles and the gums are dead.&lt;br /&gt;

They live aside freshwater rivers or lakes, and create burrows for shelter and protection. They are active mainly at nighttime hours, and use their webbed feet for swimming. When swimming the platypus has its eyes shut. They swim underwater for 2 minutes, before returning to the surface for oxygen. They can however stay underwater for up to 10 minutes, and due to their natural buoyancy, they need to be underneath another object to do this. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;The Platypus has a wooly furred coat and range from 30cm to 45cms in length and the tail about 10 to 15 cms. The wooly furred coat actually has three different layers. The first layer keeps the animal warm, by trapping air, the second layer which provides an insulating coat for the animal, and lastly the third layer of long flat hairs to detect objects close by. These creatures weight on average between 1 to 2.4 kilograms. They have an average lifespan of 12 years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;This lifespan may be shortly diminished, as the platypuses biggest threats are snakes, goannas, rats and foxes. Another big threat to the platypus is man, via waterway pollution or land clearing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;

They do so mainly at night, by the use of their bill. They turn up mud on the bottom of the lake or river, and with the help of their electroreceptors located on the bill, find many insects and freshwater insects. They store their findings in special pouches behind their bill, and are consumed upon returning to the surface.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Amazing        Fact:&lt;/b&gt; Platypuses can consume their own body weight in food in a 24        hour period!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Male platypus are larger than the female. They reproduct by mating which occurs once a year, between June - October. The female lays between 2 - 4 eggs and incubates these for a two week period. When a young platypus is born, they feed from milk from the mother. The mother secretes this milk from large glands under the skin, the young platypus feed from this milk which ends up on the mothers fur.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;If you thought this was a cute and cuddly Australian animal, well, you are only half correct. The male platypi have a hollow spur about 15 milimetres in length on the inside of both hind legs. This in turn is connected to a venom gland, and the platypus uses this spur to defend itself against predators.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Amazing        Fact:&lt;/b&gt; The male platypus has venom strong enough to can kill a small        dog, or cause excruciating pain among humans.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Since only the male platypus has this venomous spur, and the gland peaks during mating season, many suggest it is normally used in aggressive encounters between other male platypus.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;A baby platypus is not called a puggle, which seems to be a common misconception. There is no official name for a baby platypus, but a common suggested name is &quot;platypup&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
