Funnel-Web Spider

These spider will bury themselves in a funnel-shaped web of silk, the entrance usually opens into the shape of a T or Y, allowing its prey to fall in or be curious about it. With the web ranging anywhere from 20 centimeters to 60 centimeters in-depth, they tend to hide in humid and sheltered places – usually between rocks, under houses or in holes in the trees.

Brown Snake Mulga

The colors of the snakes' upper-parts and sides differ from area to area within their range; those from northern Australia are tan, those from deserts in Central Australia have prominent white marks on each scale, giving a patterned appearance, and those from southern parts of its range are even blackish. In Western Australia, Mulga snakes are significantly darker in color.

Australian Fruit Bat

The fruit bat, also known as the “flying fox,” is one of the largest bats in the world, receiving its name from its fox-like face and large eyes. They roost by hanging upside-down with their wings wrapped around their bodies and, like most bats, sleep during the day and feed at night. They sometimes fly long distances to obtain food.

Honey Bees

Honey bees are super-important pollinators for flowers, fruits, and vegetables. This means that they help other plants grow! Bees transfer pollen between the male and female parts, allowing plants to grow seeds and fruit.
