Publisher's Synopsis
Reprinted due to popular demand! From Abalone to Zebra Finch and the hundreds of creatures in between, this delightfully crafted book explores Australia's amazingly varied fauna shown in its natural habitat. Over 400 land, sea and airborne creatures are organised alphabetically using a mixture of common, scientific and aboriginal manes. Each A-Z plate also explores Australia's varied landscapes, both natural and introduced. Every page is a journey of discovery for the reader, with many animals as difficult to instantly recognise here, as they are in the bush. Will you be able to find the only human in the whole book? To help locate and identify all the bush creatures depicted, informative plates after the main A-Z sections form a visual appendix that will have the reader cross referencing for years to come.
