"Now that the Paris Olympics and Paralympics have disappeared from our screens,
let’s get back to watching animal videos.

But seriously, have you ever paused to think about the athletic abilities of
Australian wildlife?

In my research as an ecologist, I’m constantly amazed by the strength, speed
and resilience of our native animals. Their prowess is testament to the wonders
of evolution, and the necessity of species having to adapt to challenging and
changing environments in order to survive.

Let’s take a closer look at some of our best competitors and how might they
fare, against humans and overseas entrants. On your marks, get set… swim, hop,
dig, dance, glide!"

Share and enjoy,
