A lot of West Australia

You will see here on these pages the bones or skulls of an animal, its scats (poo) and tracks along with other interesting things like where an animal may sleep, pouches, sounds and clues that help you discover which animal you might be on the trail of.
We will see where the animal is found in Western Australia (we may not list where it is found in the rest of Australia).

The measurements of the bones or tracks are for that photographed animal and will vary in size to other animals of that species. The pages and all their material are under copyright.

It is illegal to collect bones from National Parks but you can photograph them. If you think you may have found a fossil, as not all fossils are buried down deep, then make sure you take a note of where you saw the bones. Do not pick them up as you may destroy the specimen but photograph them and send the photographs to the Western Australian Museum.
