Australian (and Nearby Islands) Animal to Paint Online | |
There are many animals on the island of Australia and on the nearby islands, including Tasmania, New Zealand, and New Guinea (to name but a few). Many animals are unique to this part of the world.
The Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef in the world; it is off the northeast coast of Australia. There are also many flightless birds in Australia and nearby islands. Some dinosaur fossils have also been found in Australia; these reptiles roamed Australia over 65 million years ago.
On these pages, Australia is regarded as an island and a continent (but not as a country; political affiliations are ignored).
The following is a sampling of these amazing creatures. Click on an animal to paint it online:
