Covered with feathers, fur, spikes or scales, Australia's wild creatures can be beautiful, frightening and even dangerous.

Find out about Australia's wonderful animals in this series, then look at them in a whole new way the next time you have a chance to get up close at a zoo, in the wild or in your own backyard.
