Wild Boar
Sus scrofa Feral Wild Boar are rapidly damaging rainforest ecosystems. Their rooting and trampling damages native vegetation and causes erosion. They compete with native wildlife for food, eat eggs and small animals, and spread invasive weeds and diseases. Their activity also affects water quality in creeks and wetlands.
Green-eyed Tree Frog
Litoria serrata Many species of tree frogs have sticky toe pads for climbing, and long limbs for leaping between branches. Most have horizontal pupils enhancing their vision and can also change colour to camouflage with their surroundings.
Northern Leaf-tailed Gecko
Saltuarius cornutus Utilising its lichen-patterned skin, leaf-shaped tail, and body-flattening flaps, the Northern Leaf-tailed Gecko blends into its rainforest environment. This camoflague helps it hunt prey and hide from predators.
Australian Lichen Spider
Pandercetes gracilis Australian Lichen Spiders are masters of camouflage, using their flat bodies, fine hairs, and green, brown, and beige coloration to perfectly mimic moss covered tree trunks.
Southern Cassowary
Casuarius casuarius The flightless Southern Cassowary is vital to rainforest health. It swallows fruits whole; its droppings dispersing seeds across the forest. Many plants rely on cassowaries to spread their seeds - especially those too big for other animals to eat.
Pied Monarch
Arses kaupi Only found in Queensland’s tropical forests, the Pied Monarch is known for its agile foraging methods. It finds insects to eat in trees above the forest floor, spiralling up trunks and flushing out prey from cracks and crevices.
Queensland Whistling Tarantula
Selenocosmia sp. This tarantula is a shy giant, preferring to live in well-protected burrows. Like many other Australian tarantulas, it can make a noise to scare predators by moving specialised hairs against each other.
Boyd’s Forest Dragon
Lophosaurus boydii Boyd's Forest Dragon relies on camouflage to stay hidden in the forest. Instead of basking in direct sunlight like many lizards, it regulates its temperature by staying in shaded, humid areas and absorbing warmth from the environment.
