Looped litter: Rubber Band
Outcome: Immediate release
A huge thank you to local filmmaker Craige! His eagle eye alerted us to a platypus entangled in looped litter. He provided crucial footage, location, time, and direction of travel. This information, combined with alerts from our Platycam the following morning, gave us the clues we needed.
We were able to intervene and release the platypus the very next evening.
Rapid intervention is key to preventing suffering and injury from looped litter. Community awareness and 24/7 cameras make this possible.
