Animals

The desert landscape of Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park is far from a barren wasteland.

Living among the plants and geological formations is a thriving community of birds, mammals, reptiles and more.

Many of these animals have developed unique ways of surviving in the harsh environment of Central Australia. A lot of them are also important creation ancestors and appear in the Tjukurpa stories.

For your safety and the protection of our wildlife, we ask all visitors to refrain from touching or handling wildlife in the National Park.
