Domestic Cat (Felis catus)Observer
jussiepDescription
This feral cat was caught on a farm in the Matau South area and is typical of the ones that we've been catching out at Uruti. All of them have a very short tail. Most of the domestic cats that I've seen have much longer tails so we were wondering why all the feral cats in this area have such short tails... any ideas?

Missing LocationDescription
I have been tasked with handling queries on the Terrain.org website since Phil Bendle passed away in early August and I received an e-mail from a gentleman recently saying that some photographs on the Astelia fragrans page of the site were in fact Kie kie (Freycinetia). Accordingly I was wanting confirmation before making any changes to the site. Can anyone help me out please?
According to the Terrain website, the images were photographed on the West Coast of the South Island.

This clump of fungi was the size of a dinner plate! Growing in leaf litter. The 3rd photo is NOT a good representation of colour as it was taken with a flash and I can't seem to work out how to remove the orangey brightness in the shot.
