Fairy wren

In fairy wren families only the mum and dad make the nest and breed, but the older kids help feed and protect their younger brothers and sisters. They are small birds that flit quickly from place to place in search of food.

Blue tongue lizard

The blue tongue lizard has a flattened body and head with stumpy legs. If frightened, it will flatten its body to make it look bigger and flash its bright blue tongue. It moves slowly through the coastal forest and dunes eating fruit, snails, insects and small frogs.
