Science & Natural History

The bushland, parks, gardens and waters of Greater Melbourne support an amazing diversity of animals, including many rare and endangered species. From albatrosses and antechinuses to wombats and worms, the number of species is remarkable. Melbourne's Wildlife contains stunning colour photographs of over 700 animals, with descriptions of each species, information about behaviour and habitat, distribution maps, and informative and thought-provoking essays about the wildlife in this wonderful city.
