The highly adaptive animals in wild Australia have survived over millions of years in a land of drought, fire, and flood.
More Than a Stone's Throw Away
Australia, roughly the same size as the United States, is the world’s largest island. Separated by ocean from the rest of the world, Australia has a higher percentage of endemic animals than any other continent on earth, meaning that many of its species are not naturally found outside the country.
These animals – living creatures that are as close to prehistoric as can be found on earth – developed over millions of years in solitude.
Most of us will never get within a cooee of these creatures without going to wild extremes.
