Fauna: Amphibians, Reptiles, and Mammals

Our Garden provides habitats for an interesting range of native amphibians, reptiles and mammals. Amphibians are cold-blooded vertebrates that breed in water: e.g. tree frogs and ground frogs. Reptiles are cold-blooded vertebrates with a rough scaly outer layer: e.g. lizards and snakes. Mammals are warm-blooded vertebrates with a body covered in hair, fur or spines: e.g. koalas, echidnas, bandicoots, rats, bats and possums.
