From the iconic koala clinging to a eucalyptus branch to the elusive kiwi stalking the forest floor, the wildlife of Australia and New Zealand represents one of the most extraordinary collections of fauna on Earth — and Richard Sadleir's Animals of Australia & New Zealand brings this remarkable world vividly to life. This comprehensive natural history guide chronicles the diverse creatures of the Australasian region, presenting a rich tapestry of marsupials, reptiles, birds, and marine life that evolved in spectacular isolation from the rest of the world's ecosystems. Sadleir writes with the authority of a seasoned naturalist, grounding each entry in sound zoological science while remaining thoroughly accessible to the general reader and wildlife enthusiast alike. The work illustrates the profound ecological relationships between these animals and their unique habitats — from the sun-scorched outback to the lush rainforests of New Zealand's South Island — and argues implicitly for the importance of conservation in a rapidly changing world. Whether you are a curious traveller, a dedicated naturalist, or simply captivated by the wonders of the animal kingdom, this title will leave you with a deepened appreciation for two of the planet's most biologically astonishing nations — and a pressing desire to discover what other secrets their wilderness conceals.
