Wildlife in Australia

Australia is a country, which keeps you on your toes every time, whether you are tapping your feet in a nightclub or you're walking down the bush lands. Australia Wildlife Attractions include the Kangaroo, the national animal, wombat, Koala, Wallaby, Dingo, Platypus, Echidna, Emu, Cockatoo, and Lyrebird.

In the silence of the night you will be greeted by the omnipresent sound of the Kookaburra.

This bird has the capability to mimic several birds and has been named the sound of the Australian jungle. Kookaburra is a very important part of Australia Wildlife Attractions.

While driving down the roads of Tasmania, you might suddenly come across a spiny creature looking for its food, unaware of its circumstances.

At that point of time you will be expected to stop your journey and let it pass through.

These enormous varieties of species are surviving and flourishing in the numerous National Parks and wildlife sanctuaries in the country.

Almost all its National Parks are a world Heritage Sight and a major crowd puller of the area.

When we talk about Australia hat immediately comes to our mind besides immense scenic beauty are the hopping images of Kangaroos and Koalas.

Some of the rare and most unique mammals are found in this country and enthrall people who come to visit them year round.

Recent amendments to the EPBC Act, the Federal Act that is supposed to protect wildlife, have made our task even more difficult.

Expectations are that the Victorian, South Australian, Tasmanian, and West Australian wildfires have wiped out most if not all, of the last local colonies of potaroos, gliders, koalas, and other small species. Many of our small bush birds have been

incinerated. Few animals can outrun or out fly the intense wildfires. With so many native animals and birds disappearing forever, it's even more important now to protect what we have left. That's what the Wildlife Protection Association of Australia Inc. does.

Now, coming to the national animal and the most attractive member of the Australia Wildlife Attractions, Mr. Kangaroo! Kangaroo is symbolic of the society of Australia, forward looking and progressive. You will find them wherever you go in the continent.

Australia Wildlife Attractions owes its evolution and survival to the millions of years of isolation from the rest of the world.

The various species of birds and animals have been surviving in the national parks and wildlife sanctuaries, which play a major role in attracting the tourists. Australia Wildlife Attractions consists of the rarest of species living in the animal world.
