Few urban areas in the world can boast the rich diversity of animal life which is the natural heritage of the Greater Brisbane region. This full-colour identification guide is a comprehensive introduction to more than 600 of the animals with which we share our diminishing wilderness, sprawling urban environs and even the intimacy of our homes.
Snails, spiders, insects, other invertebrates, fish, frogs, snakes and lizards, mammals and more than 100 birds are included in easy-to-read entries which describe the physical appearance of each animal and where it is most likely to be found. From worms to whales, the wildlife of the Greater Brisbane region is literally on our doorstep - this book will help you enjoy it.
