Wildlife of Victoria

Biodiversity in Our Backyard!

When we talk about wildlife, it’s nice to know how much Aussies of all ages know about lions, tigers and anacondas, but it’s always surprising to find out how very little they know about the species we find in our own backyards.

Discover Victoria's Animal Wonders

So what better place to discover the wonders of Australia’s diverse wildlife than right here at home?

Victoria is home to an incredible range of native fauna, and in this program we’ll explore our amazing local biodiversity, learn how to be safe around wildlife, understand the threats our local natives are faced with and get up close and personal with a range of native animals from invertebrates to amphibians, mammals, birds, and a range of amazing reptiles too!
