Orca black and white soft plush toy. 15 inch in length.

Orcas are also known as killer whales, wolves of the sea. They can grow to a length of 8 metres and swim more than 45km per hour. They live in a family group called a pod and all work together to hunt prey including fish, whales, penguins, seals and dolphins.

Weighing up to six tonnes, the orca is, in fact, the largest species of dolphin rather than a whale as its nickname suggests. Bearing flesh-eating teeth of up to 10 centimetres long, the mammals are rightly feared in the ocean. – informally referred to as killer whales because of their fearsome reputation – are majestic mammals found in Australian waters between the months of June and October on the east coast, and January to April on the west.

While Orca don’t treat humans as prey, they are top of the food chain in the water, and there’s still plenty of research required to find out more about their habitat and actions.

What is a Walkbout?

Going on a 'Walkabout’ is not an aimless wandering, but it is a deliberate - focused journey that connects Aboriginal people to the lands and spiritual obligations.

An Aboriginal person who is on ‘walkabout’ connects with their spiritual obligations the songlines or pathways that were formed by their ancestors at the beginning of time. These songlines crisscross all over Australia and connect waterholes, food sources, landmarks and shelters.

The Rainbow Lorikeet is a Australian favourite that is often seen feeding close to homes in many cities. It's noisy, colourful and and oh so cute.
Measures 20cm.

General Dolphin Information

There are over 30 different species of Dolphin around the world, many living in the waters around Australia. The most common species of Dolphin is the Bottlenose Dolphin. Dolphins are warm-blooded mammals and give birth to live young, breathe air and have a very social nature.

Dolphins are in great threat from a wide variety of objects and actions within the water. They and other marine life often get caught in fishing lines, and have difficulty with Stainless Steel hooks caught in their mouths. Human rubbish and other waste products can also be swallowed by Dolphins, causing pain and even death. They also often have difficulty getting out of the way of speed boats and jet skis.

You can help our dolphins and marine life by disposing of your rubbish properly and even picking up any you see on the beaches and putting it in a rubbish bin.

The Barn Owl is one of the world’s most widespread species of owls. At night, its pale form may be glimpsed in a car’s headlights while it’s flying silently over open country, especially grassy areas and farmland on all continents (except Antarctica, where its preferred habitats do not occur). Its white, heart-shaped facial disc is characteristic and assists the bird in finding food by concentrating noises, as the owl hunts by night by hearing its prey to locate it as well as by seeing it.

Take home your own Aussie icon. This large plush Platypus is the perfect size for cuddling! He is highly detailed and made from the finest of fabric.

Platypus General Information

The Platypus is a unique and an Australian native. Platypus are monotremes which means egg-laying mammal. Monotremes have only 2 species in this group – the other is the Echidna.

The Platypus when first discovered was thought to be a fake due to the different species that could be associated with it – the bill of a duck, the webbed feet of an otter, the tail of a beaver. It caused quite a bit of confusion!

Platypuses spend most of their time in the water or in their burrow. They are found only in freshwater rivers or lakes. They create burrows for shelter and protection. They are mainly active late in the day and during the nights. The main threats to a Platypus are goannas, rats, snakes and foxes as well as man – through pollution and land clearing.

To watch a Platypus you must be very quiet and very patient – the slightest noise and they’re gone!

Hug 'ems Tree kangaroos are super soft, cute and huggable. At 7" we dare you not to "hug 'em"!

Tree kangaroos really are kangaroos that live in trees, they are the largest tree-dwelling mammals in Australia and live in far north Queensland.

There are two species of tree kangaroo in Australia, the Lumholtz and the Bennetts.
They mainly feed on leaves and other foliage, but also eat flowers and fruits from native trees.

Soft, cuddly and oh so huggable! This adorable little koala is the perfect size for children of all ages. It can stand on all fours or sit on its little bean bag bottom.

Designed to compliment your Australian Menagerie game with additional animals, habitats and more players.

Rugged mountains with fast-flowing rivers and spectacular waterfalls rise abruptly from the sandy beaches, rocky headlands and mangrove forests that form the interface between the ocean and the rainforest on Queensland's north east coast.

The mountains catch passing clouds causing heavy rain to fall for much of the year. The combination of heavy rain and high temperatures creates an ideal environment for plants to grow and the coastal slopes and lowlands are renown for their diversity of vegetation.

Among the lush forests of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area (approx 894000 ha) between Cooktown and Townsville there are at least 483 species of plants that are considered rare or threatened. Tall trees, ferns, palms, orchids, vines, moss and fungi live together in rainforest communities. The tallest plants use their branches and leaves to reach out and catch the sunlight leaving only subdued light for the plants
growing on the forest floor.

The diversity of rainforest vegetation, in turn, supports a rich diversity of animals. The nutrient rich, damp, warm environment provides the ideal living conditions for many invertebrates, birds, reptiles, amphibians and mammals.

Designed to compliment your Australian Menagerie game with additional animals, habitats and more players.

Coral Reefs, which are the world's richest marine habitats, occur in shallow, warm waters where the sea temperature is almost always between 18 to 30 degrees centigrade. Australian coral reefs are found off the coasts of Western Australia and Queensland and grow from about the level of a low spring tide down to a depth of about 40 metres.

When we look at a reef we are, in fact, seeing a thin layer of living coral capping millions of years of accumulated limestone, that is, the accumulated shells and skeletons of sea creature. Fossil evidence suggests that coral reefs have existed on earth for about 450 million years but Queensland Great Barrier Reef is a much newer structure.

Coral Reefs are renown for their abundance and diversity of life and colour. All life forms including coral, plants, anemones, jellyfish, sponges, worms, crabs, sea slugs, giant clams, starfish, sea urchins, fish and turtles create a spectacular marine environment of constant movement and unending variety. The Great Barrier Reef supports 12 species of sea grass and 500 kinds of algae, 400 species of hard corals, 1500 species of fish, 4000 kinds of molluscs (clams, snails ), 7 species of turtle as well as being home to whales, dolphins and dugongs.

Animals Living In This Habitat

• Coral
• Dugong
• Loggerhead Turtle
• Parrot Fish

The extra threat included in this Menagerie™ ADD-ON Habitat is:

Climate change - could alter weather patterns including temperatures and precipitation. The sea level may rise.

The extra management strategy included in this Menagerie™ ADD-ON Habitat is:

Climate change - extensive research into possible ecological impacts of climate change is needed. Educational programs and legislation to reduce greenhouse gasses could reduce global warming.

Dingo hug 'ems are super soft, cute and oh so huggable! At 7" we dare you to stop hugging them.

Dingo General Information

The Australian Dingo is not thought to be a true native species but as to how long it has been here and how it got here is still being disputed. They are found throughout the mainland Australia. The Dingo is a medium sized animal, with a bushy tail and can be found in a variety of colours from reddish yellow to black and even a whitish colouration. Dingoes do not bark, but howl.

The dingo has been treated as a pest and often persecuted and could be heading down the path to extinction, but recently it is becoming more thought of as an intelligent, inquisitive and integral part of the Australian environment – it is now starting to be seen to be a valued partner in the fight against the feral cat which is devastating to our native wildlife.

The Aboriginal people valued them as guard animals in their camps and hunting companions.
