Many Australians are uninformed about the country's native creatures, leading to confusion about which animals are native and which are considered invasive species.
Confusion Over Native and Invasive Species
Illustrator First Dog on the Moon highlights the irony that foxes, which are introduced, are often thought of as native, while quolls, which are native, are sometimes mistaken for invasive. The cartoonist has long advocated for greater awareness of Australia's adorable native fauna.
Call for Greater Awareness
First Dog on the Moon has been "banging on" about these creatures for years, urging Australians to learn more about their wildlife. Readers can sign up to receive an email whenever new First Dog cartoons are published, and merchandise and prints are available at the First Dog shop.
