Australia is one of the few travel destinations worldwide where almost all visitors want to view wildlife kangaroos and koalas, of course, but, increasingly, other animals as well: parrots, bowerbirds, dangerous saltwater crocodiles, large ground lizards called monitors or 'goannas' and the colorful marine life of the Great Barrier Reef. This book provides you with all the information you need to find, identify, and learn about Australia's magnificent animal and plant life. Identification and location information on the most frequently seen animals. This title includes full-color illustrations of nearly 650 of Australia's most common fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. It includes up-to-date information on the ecology, behavior, and conservation of profiled animals.
