Compared to the other great zoogeographic regions--Eurasia, Africa, Southeast Asia and the two Americas--the Australian zone is small and in large part arid and inhospitable. But this flat, drought-plagued land supports a magnificently rich and strange collection of wildlife. Many of its principal groups of plants and animals have evolved on their own, independent of trends in the world at large. Others have found sanctuary in which to vegetate and survive as relic types similar to forms which elsewhere on earth vanished millions of years ago.
