Did you know? Mangroves act as a nursery for diverse marine species, safeguard shorelines, and filter river runoff? They absorb 10 times more carbon than terrestrial forests and annually reduce storm damage, preventing million-dollar demages! 🌿
Mangroves also act as crucial nurseries, fostering an environment vital for the early stages of marine life. Their intricate root systems provide shelter for various fish, such as the barramundi and snapper, and support crabs, mollusks and invertebrates, enriching coastal biodiversity and ensuring sustainable fisheries! 🐟🦀

Built for the Outback: Bearded Dragon Skin 🦎☀️
A bearded dragon’s skin is perfectly designed for life in harsh Australian conditions. Covered in rough, spiky scales, their skin acts like built-in armour, protecting them from predators and the rugged terrain.

Not only that — their scales help regulate moisture and temperature, preventing dehydration in hot, dry environments. They shed their skin as they grow, and the new skin is better at absorbing UVB light and converting it to Vitamin D, helping keep them healthy and strong.

Come meet our scaly superstars and see this fascinating reptile up close at Cairns Koalas and Creatures!

For today’s World Snake Day, we’re celebrating our fascinating local reptiles – just like our resident Jungle Carpet Python! 🐍
With its golden yellow and black markings, this stunning snake blends effortlessly into the rainforest, making it a stealthy predator. Not only are they expert climbers, but they also play a vital role in controlling rodent populations in our ecosystem. 🌿

🐍 You probably know that snakes shed their skin - but did you know young snakes can shed as often as every couple of weeks while they grow? Some snakes even shed up to once a month depending on their species, age, and the seasons!

Learning about incredible wildlife like this is not only fascinating, but a great way to inspire our kids to care about nature and the world around them. 🌿

At Cairns Koalas and Creatures, your little explorers can get hands-on with wildlife discoveries and spark a lifelong love of animals and the environment. 🐨✨

Meet the Gouldian Finch – Australia’s living rainbow! 🌈 Bursting with colour and charm, these little birds bring a splash of magic to the treetops.

But they’re more than just a pretty face! Gouldian Finches are a symbol of a healthy tropical ecosystem – their presence is a sign that nature is thriving. Once widespread across the north, their numbers sadly declined due to habitat loss. Fortunately, conservation efforts are helping these colourful gems make a comeback. 💙

So next time you're in the tropics, keep an eye out – you might just spot one of Australia’s brightest birds! 👀

Today we celebrate World Rainforest Day! 🌴
Here in Cairns, we’re lucky to be right next to the world’s oldest tropical rainforest – the incredible Daintree.
Rainforests are home to an astonishing diversity of life and play a vital role in regulating our climate, purifying our air, and supporting countless species – including some of Australia's most iconic wildlife. 💚

It is crucial that we protect these ancient ecosystems – for the planet, for wildlife, and for future generations.
