South Australia FaunaSpiders
South Australia encompasses a diverse range of habitats that include a long coastline stretching along the Southern Ocean and the Great Australian Bight, mallee and scrubland, open grasslands and savannas rangelands, wetlands (including six RAMSAR wetlands of international importance (ie the Coorong, Lake Alexandrina and Lake Albert), riverine systems, arid and desert landscapes, woodlands and forests (many being dominated by eucalyptus trees).
This range of habitats provides a landscape and refuge for a diversity of fauna from mammals, birds, marsupials, reptiles, aquatic creatures, insects and spiders. Whilst much is known about some of our more common and larger fauna, there is a great diversity of unamed species of creatures such as insects and spiders.
Check out some of the listed fauna here, with many more to be added over times.
