The greater glider (Petauroides volans) is a difficult species to study because they are arboreal, spending the majority of their time in the canopy. Here we review methods used to capture greater gliders and describe methods that are more effective in capturing greater gliders while decreasing risks to animal welfare. The routine uses (1) detection surveys (three methods trialled) to identify hollows occupied by greater gliders, and (2) tree climbing of identified den trees by a qualified tree climber who extracts the greater glider by hand from the hollow if it is shallow enough or waits up to 60 min for the animal to emerge and then catches it by hand. Detection of gliders residing inside a hollow was most efficient by tracking gliders 2 h before dawn, when compared to stationary stag watching and spotlighting along short transects at last light. Once located, success rate for capturing greater gliders from a den by tree climbing and hand capture was 76% (22/29 attempted captures) c
It's the first time in a decade they've been able to open in October. It's also the first time they've ever opened the resort to the top of the mountain this early in the year.

An international team of researchers from China, Brazil, UK, Denmark and Japan have described a new Jurassic pterosaur
Kunpengopterus antipollicatus, as having the oldest true opposed thumb - a novel structure previously not known in pterosaurs.
Discovered in the Tiaojishan Formation of Liaoning, China, the new 160-million year old species dubbed ‘Monkeydactyl’, is a small-bodied darwinopteran pterosaur with an estimated wingspan of 85 cm. Most importantly, the specimen was preserved with an opposed pollex (“thumb”) on both hands.
The research team scanned the fossil of
K. antipollicatus using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), a technique making use of X-ray to image an object. By studying its forelimb morphology and musculature, they suggest that
