We know a lot of our guests are intrigued by the wonderful wildlife that visits our park and the surrounding area. To help you identify the creatures you see, we've sourced a fantastic local resource just for you!
This handy guide has been created to help you identify animal species commonly found in gardens across southwestern Australia, from Jurien Bay to Esperance - and that includes our beautiful Middleton Beach! The guide focuses on vertebrates (animals with a backbone), covering mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians.
What the guide includes:
- A practical resource to help identify local wildlife.
- Information on species you are likely to see in the local area.
What the guide does not include:
- Fish, invertebrates, or marine species.
- A complete list of all animals in the region.
This resource was produced as part of a research project by the University of Western Australia and Perth NRM, aiming to help people understand the benefits of wildlife-friendly gardening. We think it's a great tool for anyone visiting our park to identify the animals you may be lucky enough to see during your stay!
