Wildlife survival in the current Kimberley floods

Well, I guess, by now, most people know that the Kimberley region of W.A. has been hit with multiple tropical cyclones since Dec 2017, resulting in flooding, such as hasn't been seen in quite a few decades in the region.

Broome alone has received more than 1500mm of rain just for January and February 2018 - beating all rainfall records for Broome and ensuring that 2018 will go down as the highest rainfall year ever recorded, since weather records started to be kept at Broome in the late 1880's.

In the link below, are some fascinating photographs of the survival techniques used by the ground-dwelling wildlife, when the country is flooded for kms, and there's little by way of survival points or shelter.

What is amazing about these photos is how the wildlife is prepared to put their basic enmity aside, to preserve their lives!

The ABC Facebook page also has a video of this wildlife survival. The Aboriginal Rangers normally do their wildlife patrols on foot - now they're having to use kayaks!
