Скачать или смотреть Croajingolong Bush Blitz - all creatures great and small

More than 45 participants focused their efforts across land and sea within Croajingolong National Park near Mallacoota and across its coastal fringes to areas including Gabo Island.................

The Bush Blitz recordings included more than 130 tiny crustacean species, some of which Museum Victoria believes will be entirely new to science.

Also recorded, were more than 60 species of fish, 23 reptile and frog species including the rarely seen Spadefoot (a legless lizard that looks like a snake) and more than 300 moth species. There were also almost 300 marine algae samples collected.

Researchers also gained stunning and rare close-up underwater video and photographs of a humpback whale and her calf.

Teams from Museum Victoria, Parks Victoria, Royal Botanic Gardens, University of Melbourne, University of New South Wales and the Entomological Society of Victoria were joined by BHP Billiton employees working as field assistants.
