Melbourne's Wildlife

By Museum of Victoria & CSIRO

A Field guide to the fauna of Greater Melbourne

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.

This field guide contains stunning colour photographs of over 700 animals, with descriptions of each species, information about behaviour and habitat, and informative thought-provoking essays about the wildlife.

Anyone who has wanted to know more about the creatures found around their home, the suburbs and nearby bushland will want to own this book.
