Grass is one of the most abundant and widely
distributed groups of plants on Earth. Grasses
are found on every continent except Antarctica.
Grasses store energy from the sun by the
process of photosynthesis.
There are more than 700 species of Eucalyptus,
mostly native to Australia but also present
throughout the tropics and subtropics. Eucalyptus
trees store energy from the sun by the process of
photosynthesis.

Earthworms graze on decaying organic matter in
the soil. In one day, earthworms can consume up
to one-third of their bodyweight in food.
Lichen and other fungi perform a vital role in the
decomposition of organic matter.

Jumping Spider
Pacific Black Duck
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Arachnida
Order: Araneae
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Subphylum: Vertebrata
Class: Aves
Order: Anseriformes
Jumping spiders eat other insects, including
mosquitoes. They hunt their food rather than
catch it, but they do build small webs on rolled
leaves to hide in.
This duck is found in a variety of wetlands, and it
feeds mainly at the surface of the fresh water
rather than diving. They are omnivorous, and eat
aquatic plant seeds, insects, yabbies, shrimps
and crustaceans. Ducklings feed mainly on
aquatic insects.

Class: Reptilia
Order: Lepidosauria
Recent research has found some crow species
capable of both tool use and tool construction.
Crows are considered to be among the world’s
most intelligent animals. Crows are omnivorous
and have a diverse diet, including fruits, nuts,
molluscs, earthworms, seeds, frogs, eggs, mice
and carrion.
Skinks are carnivorous, with a preference for
insects. Typical pray includes flies, crickets,
grasshoppers, beetles and caterpillars, as well as
earthworms, snails, slugs, millipedes, and
sometimes other lizards and rodents. Possums,
snakes, crows, cats, dogs and other lizards will
prey on skinks.

At dusk each day, this large species of bat will
travel up to 50 km to search for food. It feeds on
nectar, pollen and fruit, particularly the flowers of
various Eucalyptus trees.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey-headed_Flying_Fox
The common brushtail possum is vegetarian, but
can adapt to many kinds of vegetation. It enjoys
Eucalyptus leaves but will also eat flowers,
shoots, fruits and seeds.

Class: Aves
Order: Galliformes
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Subphylum: Vertebrata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Carnivora
Family: Canidae
These large birds share communal nests. They
build large mounds of leaves and other
combustible material, up to 1.5 metres high and 4
metres across. The eggs are hatched by the heat
of the composting mounds, which are maintained
by the males, who check the temperature of the
mound with their beaks. They eat insects, seeds
and fallen fruits foraged from the ground.
Dogs were domesticated from wolves about
15000 years ago. Dogs are carnivores and many
species, if left feral, will hunt for food, including
local wildlife.

There are large numbers of feral cats worldwide.
Feral cats will feed on small prey, primarily birds
and rodents. Cats hunting either by stalking their
prey or by waiting in ambush for prey to come
close enough to be captured.
Humans are omnivores, eating a variety of
vegetables and animals. Humans have evolved
to consume food that has been cooked and this
has added variety to their diet.

White-crowned Snake
Tusked Frog
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Reptilia
Order: Squamata - Serpentes

Phylum: Chordata
Class: Amphibia
Order: Anura
The white-crowned snake is small and slim, up to
45 cm long. It is dark grey or brown, with the belly
a lighter colour, and a white “crown” on its head.
It is mainly nocturnal. These snakes are
venomous, but not dangerous to people. They
feed on lizards and reptile eggs.
The tusked frog is about 5 cm long (male) or 4
cm long (female). Their “tusks” are modified
teeth, found in the mouth, on the lower jaw. They
eat snails, insects and other invertebrates.

Common Lantana
Brisbane Box
Kingdom: Plantae
Phylum: Angiosperms
Class: Eudicots
Order: Lamiales
Kingdom: Plantae
Phylum: Magnoliophyta
Class: Magnoliopsida
Order: Myrtales
This introduced species is considered a pest in
Australia. It makes animals ill if ingested.
However it does offer a habitat for the vulnerable
native bee. Lantana stores energy from the sun
by the process of photosynthesis.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lantana_camara
The Brisbane Box is native to Australia. It is very
hardy and needs only light upkeep. It grows quite
tall and thus is not always suitable for suburban
areas. This tree stores energy from the sun by
the process of photosynthesis.

Order: Ceratodontiformes
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Actinopterygii
Order: Perciformes
The lungfish is primarily nocturnal, and
essentially carnivorous. In the wild it feeds on
