Field Guide to Victorian Fauna Version 1.1

The biodiversity observed in Victoria, a southeastern Australian state, is both unique and extensive. The app presents a meticulously curated collection of detailed descriptions and current endangered species status, enhanced by captivating imagery and audio. This resource serves as a valuable reference tool across urban, bush, and coastal environments, crafted by the experts at Museums Victoria, which stands as Australia’s largest public museum organization.

Housing over 950 species, the app encompasses a wide array of fauna including birds, fish, frogs, lizards, snakes, mammals, and various invertebrates—both marine and terrestrial. It facilitates exploration of creatures ranging from those inhabiting rockpools to minibeasts found in local gardens and wildlife that may be encountered in the bush. While the app features a significant number of species, it represents only a fraction of Victoria’s complete fauna. Ongoing efforts by scientists will ensure continued additions and enhancements of species descriptions over time.

The app is under constant development and improvement. User feedback is encouraged, with an option to reach out via the App Support button located in the Ratings and Reviews section.

This application is part of an expansive suite of field guides tailored for each state and territory within Australia, all developed by the nation’s premier natural history museums.
