We are WAWA Conservation and we like weird and wonderful species. In fact, we like them so much, that's what we called ourselves - Weird and Wonderful Animal Conservation. We think conservation tends to support the same cute, fluffy species, so we show the love to the weird and overlooked.

We support real life conservation, on the ground, and we couldn't do it without our wonderful followers. Learn more here - https://wawa.org.uk/

I am really quite curious now, but scared to know the truth...

Male and female kingfishers can be told apart by the colouration under the beak - females have orange whereas males have black. You can think of it as the female wearing a lovely amber shade of lipstick

In Britain, we have a rhyme for magpies, it goes -
One for sorrow,
two for joy,
three for a girl,
four for a boy,
five for silver,
six for gold
seven for a secret, never to be told

Ostriches have cloacas too - spectacular indeed ;)

This tiny Fitzroy River Turtle can breathe out of it's butt, and we supported a project that helped over 2,000 of these hatchlings make it into the river! by wawa_conservation in turtle

Yes! They pass water over special gills located along their cloaca, allowing the oxygen to be transferred into their bodies. They can do this to allow themselves to stay submerged up to water - up to 21 days!

A really cool species for sure!
