NATURE: The Call of Kakadu - Outback Animals
Welcome to NATURE on the Web. Each week, we present a Web piece based on
the program scheduled to be aired on PBS. This week, we travel to Kakadu
National Park in the Outback of
Australia to catch a glimpse of the animals and people that heed THE CALL
OF KAKADU. Find out more about the area's wildlife, from kookaburras to
frill-necked lizards. Meet the park's original owners, the Aboriginal
Gagudju, whose ancestors have left a remarkable legacy of cave paintings.
Take a closer look at the eucalyptus tree to learn why it's so important
to the forest ecosystem. And for Web sites and books with further
information, don't miss our Resources section.
