This book is packed full of information and you'll be amazed at how
much you learn about Australia's mammals by dipping into the remarkable
facts presented. It is to our astonishment we also learn that mammals
today often had either giant or pygmy-sized ancestors millions of years
ago!
Today our mammal heritage is threatened by a number of
challenges as development pushes into natural habitats and introduced
predators thrive. Many of the extraordinary creatures in this book may
be new to you. Many of them are shy or nocturnal and a number of them
are endangered or vulnerable.
Perhaps what you learn from this
book will delight you so much that you'll want to delve deeper into the
amazing lives of Australia's mammals and cultivate your wonder as to
which of them share your suburbs, the countryside or the sea.
With
great enthusiasm I set out on another incredible adventure of learning
and discovery in collaboration with the Queensland Museum, joining with
their talented publication team to produce this book. I hope that, like
me, you'll embark on our discovery of the world of Australian mammals
and never cease to be amazed.
