All Mammals

Australia is home to some of the most unique mammals on Earth — from iconic marsupials like kangaroos, koalas and wombats to the utterly bizarre platypus, one of only two egg-laying mammals in existence. With over 380 native mammal species, the continent’s long geographic isolation has produced creatures found nowhere else on the planet. Whether they hop, glide, burrow or swim, Australian mammals are endlessly fascinating to observe and photograph. Browse the galleries below to explore photographs of individual species up close.
