Explore how being disorganised works in our fauna's favour. Kookaburra families, Flying Fox colonies and Tasmanian Devil broods all show how a chaotic approach to life can help a species get ahead in a land of extremes.
ObsessiveIn the wilds of Australia, being obsessive isn't a flaw, it's a means of survival. The animals of this beautiful but brutal continent know that obsession equals success.
StrategicTo survive Australia's hostile landscapes, animal inhabitants must always have a plan. They all rely on strategic behaviour to thrive.
StrangeIn every kind of habitat, the weird don't only stand out, they thrive. Cannibalistic Spider Crabs and Venom-sporting Platypus are living proof that nowhere does strange quite like Australia.
FearlessIn the land down under, each moment is a battle for survival. To see another day, animals must be bold, courageous and totally fearless.
TenaciousRock Wallabies bravely scale the terrain and Brush Turkey Dads defend their nests. These animals prove that having a tenacious attitude is the key to overcoming the odds.
PlayfulThe animals of Australia work hard to ensure their survival. But sometimes working harder isn't always the smartest. A playful approach can be just as important in the game of life.
SinisterAustralia has a reputation for the most sinister animals on earth. Behind each sinister trait lies a clever means of survival.
ProtectiveIn the Australian wilderness, the protection of young takes many forms. Sometimes it's tender and other times it's sharp claws.
TalentedIn the natural world, being talented can bring all sorts of advantages and Australia has no shortage of exceptional talent.
