Fence characteristics
All individuals were entangled with barbed wire in standard farm fences
approximately one metre high.The apparent point of entanglement of the animal
was with the barb on the wire.Where entanglement position was recorded(n=17),
12 entanglements occurred on the top strand of the fence,one occurred on the
Second strand from the top,and four occurred on the third strand from the top.
Once caught on the barbed wire,it appeared that many gliders and birds became further entangled as they struggled to free themselves.On one occasion,the strand of wire was cut and the glider
Taken,with the wire in-situ,to a wildlife shelter for removal and rehabilitation.In the
Euroa study area,all 33 records occurred where fences were fences were positioned between
Cleared paddocks and vegetated roadsides.
