This title for young children was published by the National Library of Australia and it focuses on Australian fauna. Australia is home to more animal species than any other developed country. Many are unique to Australia, and a whopping 87 per cent of our mammals, 45 per cent of our birds, 93 per cent of our reptiles and 94 per cent of our amphibians are found nowhere else on Earth. This lavishly illustrated book celebrates the curious and remarkable creatures that roam our land, rivers, lakes, and oceans. These beautiful animals are vital to Australia's precious ecosystem. They are also an adored and irreplaceable part of this place we call home. From the koala and crocodile to playpus and cassowary to the dugong, and thorny devil, this book is filled with facts, trivia, and fascinating information about the wildlife who live around Australia.
