Wildlife Fact Sheets
Australia's wildlife is unique, rich and
diverse due to our long geological isolation from other continents, which
took place over the last 50 million years. Today over 770 species of
birds, 283 species of mammals, approximately 750 species of reptiles, over
200 species of frogs and an estimated 225,000 species of invertebrates
call Australia home.
Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is home to over 100 species of Australian native
wildlife and we have incorporated many of these species in our
wildlife fact sheets. The wildlife facts sheets have been categorised into
mammals, birds and reptiles and frogs, to make it easier for you to obtain
the information you require. The wildlife fact sheets are the perfect
educational resource for student projects and assignments.
