This title will be of interest to school students and all wildlife photography fans alike. With coverage of the many different and unique species of animals and wildlife across Australia - from the platypus and the thorny devil to the cassowary and the koala, and more. The unusual fauna, unusual environments, unusual climate, and the vast size of Australia, spanning tropical rainforest and savannah woodlands in the north, through deserts, beaches, and gum forests to cool alpine meadows, and snowy mountaintops in Tasmania - have all combined to create an incredible diversity of species, which mark Australia out as one of the world's "mega-diverse" nations - those that occupy a total of less than 10 per cent of the world's surface area, yet together hold more than three quarters of its species. Join Australian Geographic and go on a pictorial journey of our fascinating wildlife.
