Sophie Cross, Cryptic Creatures in an Urbanised World (ANIMAL & NATURE 2020)

Australia has an exceptional diversity of herpetofauna, sadly many of which are threatened by human activities. The species in this portfolio were photographed in and around human developments, and while relatively common in their ranges, can be difficult to find due to their cryptic colouring or behaviours. This portfolio aims to highlight some of the beauty of Australian herpetofauna, and raise awareness for conservation of wildlife that may be impacted by human activities.
