  • The Australian green tree frog, simply green tree frog in Australia, White's tree frog, or dumpy tree frog (Litoria caerulea) is a species of tree frog native to Australia and New Guinea.<br />
<br />
The green tree frog is larger than most Australian frogs, reaching 10 cm (4 in) in length. The average lifespan of the frog in captivity, about 16 years, is long in comparison with most frogs.<br />
<br />
Green tree frogs are docile and well suited to living near human dwellings. They are often found on windows or inside houses, eating insects drawn by the light.<br />
<br />
The green tree frog screams when it is in danger to scare off its foe, and squeaks when it is touched.

  • The sparsely-spotted stingaree, white-spotted stingaree, or Dixon's stingaree (Urolophus paucimaculatus) is a species of stingray in the family Urolophidae, common off the southern Australian coast.<br />
<br />
Preferring sandy flats and seagrass beds, this benthic ray can be found from close to shore to a depth of at least 150 m (490 ft), and tends to occur deeper in the northern portion of its range. Reaching a length of 57 cm (22 in), this species has a broad, diamond-shaped pectoral fin disc that is typically plain gray in color above with a V-shaped marking between the eyes.<br />
<br />
Individuals from southerly waters also generally exhibit a smattering of small, dark-edged white spots. This ray is further characterized by a distinctively bell-shaped curtain of skin between the nostrils. Its tail has a skin fold running along either side and a leaf-shaped caudal fin, but no dorsal fin.

  • Porcupinefish are fish of the family Diodontidae, (order Tetraodontiformes), also commonly called blowfish (and, sometimes, "balloonfish" and "globefish"). They are sometimes collectively (but erroneously) called pufferfish.<br />
<br />
Porcupinefish are medium to large sized fish, and are found in shallow temperate and tropical seas worldwide. A few species are found much further out from shore, wherein large shoals of thousands of individuals can occur. <br />
<br />
Porcupinefish have the ability to inflate their body by swallowing water or air, thereby becoming rounder. This increase in size (almost double vertically) reduces the range of potential predators to those with much bigger mouths.<br />
<br />
A second defense mechanism is provided by the sharp spines, which radiate outwards when the fish is inflated.<br />
Some species are poisonous, having a tetrodotoxin in their internal organs, such as the ovaries and liver.

  • The fiddler rays or banjo sharks are found along the eastern and southern coasts of Australia.<br />
<br />
The flattened pectoral fin discs of fiddler rays are shorter and more rounded than that of other guitarfishes. Their tails are slender, with a well-developed caudal fin and two triangular dorsal fins. Their snouts are translucent.<br />
<br />
Fiddler rays feed on bottom shellfish, crabs, and worms, which they crush between their jaws.

  • The Mary River Turtle (Elusor macrurus) is an endangered short-necked turtle that inhabits the Mary River in South-East Queensland, Australia. This individual is a small juvenile.<br />
<br />
In the 1960s and 1970s, they were popular as pets in Australia, with about 15,000 sent to shops every year during a ten-year period. They were originally known as the "Penny Turtle", however the Mary River turtle is one of Australia's largest turtles. Specimens in excess of 50 cm carapace length have been recorded.<br />
<br />
This species is currently listed as endangered under Queensland's Nature Conservation Act 1992, and under the federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. The international conservation body, IUCN, lists it as endangered on the IUCN Red List. It is Australia's second most endangered freshwater turtle species, after the Western Swamp Tortoise (Pseudemydura umbrina) of Western Australia. Mary River turtles are also listed in the world's top 25 most endangered turtle species.

  • The Frill-Necked Lizard (Chlamydosaurus kingii), also known as the frilled lizard or frilled dragon, is found mainly in northern Australia and southern New Guinea.<br />
<br />
This species is the only member of the genus Chlamydosaurus. Its name comes from the large frill around its neck, which usually stays folded against the lizard's body.<br />
<br />
It is largely arboreal, spending the majority of the time in the trees. The lizard's diet consists mainly of insects and small vertebrates. The frill-necked lizard is a relatively large lizard, averaging 85 cm in length.

  • The blue-ringed octopuses (genus Hapalochlaena) are three (or perhaps four) octopus species that live in tide pools and coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, from Japan to Australia (mainly around southern New South Wales and South Australia).<br />
<br />
They are recognized as some of the world's most venomous marine animals. Despite their small size and relatively docile nature, they can prove a danger to humans. They can be recognized by their characteristic blue and black rings and yellowish skin.

It has an arm span of up to 50 cm (20 in) with long, unusually thin tentacles joined at the base by webbing and studded with small suckers.<br />
<br />
Like most octopuses, it can change shape and colour, and is often hard to spot, as it spends the day buried in the sand, preferring to venture out for food at night.

  • The Red-tailed Black Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus banksii samueli) is a large black cockatoo native to Australia. <br />
<br />
Adult males have a characteristic pair of bright red panels on the tail that gives the species its name. This particular subspecies exists in four scattered populations: in central coastal Western Australia from the Pilbara south to the northern Wheatbelt in the vicinity of Northam, and inland river courses in Central Australia, southwestern Queensland and the upper Darling River system in Western New South Wales. <br />
<br />
Birds of this subspecies are generally smaller with smaller bills than the nominate banksii.
