Image - Stone Curlews of North Queensland
  • Description:  A pair of Stone Curlews
  • Comment:  These birds have adapted camouflage to suit the leaf litter of the tropical rainforest where they live.  When they notice an intruder they stay very still without blinking and are very difficult to spot.
  • Photographer:  Paul Hubbard (ThinkQuest 18757)
  • Location: Conway National Park, Queensland, Australia (Tropical Rainforest)
 
Image - Tulip Oak 
  • Description:  Tulip Oak (Argyrodendron polyandrum)
  • Comment:  This tree, despite its name, is not an oak.
  • This species has developed buttresses which can support the tree to grow above the canopy of the rainforest.
