  • Steve Irwin Herpetology
    Stephen Robert "Steve" Irwin (born February 22, 1962 – died September 4, 2006), nicknamed "The Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin was (among other things) a herpetologist. He was a scientist who studied and took care of reptiles and amphibians. Irwin was born and raised in Australia where his mother and father started the Australia Zoo. He grew up around reptiles and took over the management of the zoo as an adult. Even as a child he was involved in the care and feeding of animals and taking care of the zoo. He is best known for a successful television series called “Crocodile Hunter” in which he wrestled crocodiles. Irwin loved nature and animals. By teaching people about animals he wanted to protect them and the habitats they live in. He wanted to share his excitement about the natural world with people and make them aware of endangered animals, or animals with low populations, and land clearing leading to loss of habitat. Irwin died on September 4, 2006 after being pierced in the chest by a stingray barb while filming an underwater film titled “Ocean's Deadliest”. What does a herpetologist do? A herpetologist is a scientist who studies amphibians and reptiles. They encounter many interesting and potentially dangerous animals. There are many tools a herpetologist can use to handle, observe and assist amphibians and reptiles. A herpetologist can use a snake hook to safely pick up snakes. If a herpetologist is working with snakes, they may keep antivenom close by in case they get bitten. Gloves are important to protect a herpetologist against bites by a lizard or snake.

    Leading � rec�very Annual Report 2019–2020 TARONGA ANNUAL REPORT 2019–2020 A SHARED FUTURE � WILDLIFE AND PE�PLE At Taronga we believe that together we can find a better and more sustainable way for wildlife and people to share this planet. Taronga recognises that the planet’s biodiversity and ecosystems are the life support systems for our own species' health and prosperity. At no time in history has this been more evident, with drought, bushfires, climate change, global pandemics, habitat destruction, ocean acidification and many other crises threatening natural systems and our own future. Whilst we cannot tackle these challenges alone, Taronga is acting now and working to save species, sustain robust ecosystems, provide experiences and create learning opportunities so that we act together. We believe that all of us have a responsibility to protect the world’s precious wildlife, not just for us in our lifetimes, but for generations into the future. Our Zoos create experiences that delight and inspire lasting connections between people and wildlife. We aim to create conservation advocates that value wildlife, speak up for nature and take action to help create a future where both people and wildlife thrive. Our conservation breeding programs for threatened and priority wildlife help a myriad of species, with our program for 11 Legacy Species representing an increased commitment to six Australian and five Sumatran species at risk of extinction. The Koala was added as an 11th Legacy Species in 2019, to reflect increasing threats to its survival. In the last 12 months alone, Taronga partnered with 28 organisations working on the front line of conservation across 17 countries.

Tel: +61 0401697287. Email: [email protected] Glucocorticoid quantification using non-invasive methods provides a powerful tool for assessing the health and welfare of wild- life in zoo-based programmes. In this study, we provide baseline data on faecal-based glucocorticoid (cortisol) monitoring of Sumatran tigers (Panthera tigris ssp. sumatrae) managed at the Melbourne Zoo in Victoria, Australia. We sampled five tigers daily for 60 days. Faecal cortisol metabolites (FCMs) in tiger faecal extracts were quantified using enzyme immunoassays that were successfully validated using parallelism and accuracy recovery checks. Two female tigers had significantly higher mean FCM levels than the two males and another female, suggesting that females may have higher FCM levels. A significant elevation was noted in the FCM levels for one female 2 days after she was darted and anaesthetized; however, the FCM levels returned to base- line levels within 3 days after the event.

  • Background Information the Steve Irwin Wildlife
    Background Information The Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve and Nature Refuge (SIWR), located on Cape York Peninsula and comprising of some 135,000 hectares, is a vast mosaic of closed and open forests, heath and grassland communities, rainforests, wetlands and savannas. Its southern border fronts the Wenlock River and the Ducie River forms part of northern border. It has a rich diversity of plants and animals, a number of which are of significance, including the red goshawk, Palm cockatoo, speartooth sharks, spotted cuscus, Cape York melomys, white-lipped tree frog, and the northern death adder. The Reserve has been set aside as a tribute to the conservation work of Steve Irwin and a place for scientific research, discovery, training and education. A logistic base for research on the reserve has been set up at Coolibah, near the southern border of the SIWR and is approximately a 1.5 hour 4-W drive from Weipa, although a deep river crossing is necessary. Alternatively Coolibah can be accessed via the Telegraph road and entering via the former Bertihaugh pastoral station. Rangers are based at Coolibah and facilities include, phone and mobile phone connection (Telstra service only), an office, kitchen and bathroom amenities. There are campsites at Coolibah in which to pitch a tent and are walking distance to the base building and facilities. Expressions of Interest We are seeking applications from researchers who are interested in conducting ecological and conservation studies on the SIWR. Requests for logistical support and access to research facilities will be considered but the expectation is that researchers will be self-sufficient.
