Australia has around 240 species of mammals, 800 species of birds, 380 species of reptiles, 122 species of frogs, and 180 species of freshwater fish. The remainder are invertebrates, including insects.
Native animals include the Kangaroo, Koala, Emu, Possum, Wombat, Platypus, Echidna and Dingo. There are also many interesting and colourful birds including, Parrots, Cockatoos, and Kookaburras.
Fauna to be wary of include spiders such as the Redback and Funnel Web. Australia has the most poisonous snakes on earth, including the Venomous Brown, Tiger, Death Adder, Copperhead and red bellied black varieties. Both salt and freshwater crocodiles are found in the tropics, which comprises an area of the top third of Australia. Sea creatures to be avoided include some sea snakes, sharks and the Box Jelly Fish, which are many times more venomous than snakes. The Box Jelly Fish or Stingers as they are also known are only a threat during the summer season in tropical Australia.
