Probably all of them spiders

Anything that can feast on the corpses of animals died in their wild fires is probably doing well right now. For now.

That must leave them spare time to bring back the Thylacine fingers 🤞

Greenpeace hardest hit.

Lots of great news for Australia lately. They found a bunch of new previously undiscovered spiders the other week at well.

From the article:

In total, 15 mammals, eight birds, four frogs, one reptile and one fish were found to have made varying degrees of recovery, including the humpback whale, which was delisted by the government's scientific panel last year. "These species were in severe and rapid declines, such that extinctions within decades were very real possibilities for many," Dr Woinarski said.

Lots of resources available now after the billions were lost in Australia's huge fires. Thanos effect at work.

Personally I wouldn't say new spiders is good news

That's toadally awesome

When can we snap the landlords?

I was hoping they’d finally declare war on koalas. Those smooth-brained jerks have had to too good for too long.

I realize spiders are beneficial but I'm severely arachnophobic. I don't consider news of new spiders to be happy or uplifting.

>including the humpback whale

Kirk and crew are going to be in trouble.

Some species of spider, like the White Tailed spider, eat other spiders.

So...maybe.

Somewhere in the cosmos Steve Irwin is smiling.

Are they now extinct?

That’s 29 species

INB4 “Ew icky icky spiders, they should all fuck off and be killed with fire”

Oh nice, so we can start hunting them again. Phew I was worried for a minute.

I'm gonna give the zelensky reply for this one

"This is great, but we need more"

Not sure how my brain recognised the pic as Australian lace-lid…not so clued up on frogs in general. Regardless, one of the best items I’ve read today

Because they're already gone
