Wildlife Encounters will take the students on tour to learn of a continent surrounded by seas and oceans with its vast array of animals. Our Wildlife Educators will teach and show examples to the students why the ecological interactions are amazing in Australia. With Australia being isolated over time, the animals have adapted and changed to survive in the biomes of this continent. Australia is the only continent on Earth that naturally has all three subclasses of mammals including egg laying mammals.
