BellingenNSWFactors contributing directly to platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) mortality and implications for conserving populations in the wild" Based on details of more than 400 platypus deaths with an identifiable cause recorded since 1989, five main factors contributed directly to platypus mortalities: drowning in fish nets or enclosed crustacean traps (such as opera house traps), being killed by predators (especially canids), becoming accidentally hooked by recreational anglers who then cut the line, becoming entangled in discarded fishing line or other types of litter and being hit by motor vehicles... Additional mortality factors included drought, severe flooding, being drawn into irrigation pumps and entrapment in manmade materials or infrastructure.Disease was implicated as being the likely causal agent in two platypus deaths, including a female that died late in lactation. Platypus mortalities were recorded throughout the year on the southeastern Australian mainland but peaked in early autumn, when many recently weaned juveniles are likely to be present. Given the very high number of platypus mortalities attributed to the use of fish nets or enclosed crustacean traps, their use should be banned in all waters where platypus population are known to occur.

Gordon KerryI have been meaning to post this good news story for a while - two months ago I joined a bunch of other volunteers to sample water from rivers and creeks throughout the Kiewa Valley in Victoria, which was then analysed for <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/platypus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#platypus</a> DNA.

Schalk CronjéThe 2lt version of the Hydraulics bladder is 27g lighter than the 3lt, which brings it to 170g.In the same vein, if I do 2x 1lt Platypus Soft Bottles it all comes to 115g. That is a 55g saving.P.S. Osprey does have LT versions of their bladders, but in my experience they don't last that long, expecially being pushed in and pulled out of hydration sleeves on a backpack. I always prefer the standard bladder versions.(7/8)<a href="https://mountains.social/tags/Ospreypacks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ospreypacks</a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/whatsinyourpack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#whatsinyourpack</a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/hiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hiking</a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/hydration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hydration</a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/platypus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#platypus</a>

Schalk CronjéCarrying on with the hydration theme. I acquired a 1lt Platypus Soft Bottle and then used the modified Source adaptor to test. No leakage so far, even after putting pressue on the soft bottle when it was nearly full.This brings about a 40g solution in place of a 180g Nalgene. Still heavier than a normal Osprey hydration bladder, but more versatile for sure.<a href="https://www.platy.com/ie/bottles/softbottle/softbottle.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.platy.com/ie/bottles/softbottle/softbottle.html</a>(5/8)<a href="https://mountains.social/tags/hydration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hydration</a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/whatsinyourpack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#whatsinyourpack</a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/platypus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#platypus</a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/hiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hiking</a>
