Fauna
The
unique geological forms of the Top End are also home
to a unique array of animals, again, like the range
of plants, possibly the most diverse in Australia. In
Kakadu National Park, for example, over one third of
Australia's bird species can be found, more than 50
different fish, over 120 reptiles, over 60 species of
mammals, 300 species of ants and tens of thousands of
other invertebrates.
As
the geology changes so does the typical fauna of the
region. In the sandstone escarpments notable species
include the giant cave gecko, Pamela's gecko and the
intriguing Oenpelli rock python. Intriguing, for being
Australia's largest snake and only discovered by western
biologists in the 1970s. Also found in caves and crevices
of the sandstone country are the rare orange horseshoe
and ghost bats.
In
the open woodlands we find parrots, cockatoos, numerous
honey eaters and raptors such as falcons, kites and
hawks.
The
rivers and floodplains of the Top End play host to one
of the largest and ferocious reptiles found in the world
- the estuarine crocodile. It co-habitats the waterways
with our famous barramundi fish, mysteriously all of
which are born as males!
