Looped litter: Twine loop
Outcome: Death

A local photographer noticed a platypus with something around its neck. With the assistance of the community the platypus was located. Due to its injuries it was taken into care at Bonorong.

Despite initial optimism, the injuries cause by the loop of twine around larila’s body would lead to her death.

It was at this point we decided a far more proactive approach was required when it comes to looped litter in our waterways.

The entanglement and subsequent death of larila occurred during the filming of The Platypus Guardian.
