Wildlife cameras have captured rare shots of blonde echidnas

Researchers deployed 30 motion-sensor cameras on Truwana island, capturing approximately half a million images over seven months. This first-ever camera survey of the island yielded rare footage of blonde echidnas, white-footed dunnarts, and the near-threatened Latham's Snipe. The survey highlights the island's biodiversity, potentially supported by its native vegetation, which has helped some species survive threats like habitat loss and predators.
