Solar powered Sea Slugs 
While the debate rages internationally about solar power's value as an alternative energy source, under the sea, sea slugs are in no doubt. By farming photosynthetic cells stolen from their food and using the nutrients they produce, these spectacularly beautiful creatures have effectively become solar-powered, part-time plants.
 

The uncommon wombat 
The underground lifestyle and nocturnal habits of wombats are partly to blame for their unfamiliarity, but this time of year provides a great opportunity to spot the world's largest burrowing herbivore.
 

Corroboree frog's last dance 
The race is on to save the cold-loving Southern Corroboree frog. An intensive breeding program may be the last chance for this once common species.
 

Butterfly-Ant Liaison 
Ants are usually the number one enemy of butterflies, but in some species, ants tenderly care for butterfly larvae as if they were their own, even raising them in their own nests. But what do the ants get out of it? Abbie Thomas investigates.
 

Native Truffles - Fun Guys 
Next time you go for a walk in the bush, don't be surprised if you suddenly catch a whiff of bubblegum or peanut butter. It might be the left-overs from a picnic, but more likely, there's a native truffle lurking nearby. As winter approaches, these fungi form fat and fruiting bodies just below the soil surface, where they wait to be dug up and devoured by native animals.
 

Dancing Brolgas 
Dancing their way across the country, one of our largest and most elegant birds is on the move. The curious dance of the Brolga is legendary, but we really know very little about this majestic creature. June is the month when Brolgas in Australia's south are making their way to the breeding grounds. In the north they're heading out with their new chicks to join massive flocks where new mates pair up for life. But there's a dark shadow hovering over our Brolgas with their numbers fast dwindling in Australia's southern states.
 

Echidna love trains 
Echidnas breed in winter so, at this time of year, they're out and about on the lookout for a mate. Lovelorn male echidnas often queue up behind a female, nose to tail, forming long trains, up to ten echidnas long. These trains are the first part of the strange echidna courtship and mark the begining of the breeding season.
