What animals live in the Gibson Desert?

Answer 1

Wildlife in the Gibson Desert includes red kangaroo, emu, the greater bilby (a small, nocturnal rabbit-like herbiferous mammal), the hardy bush stone curlew, and reptiles such as the thorny devil and perentie ((Varanus giganteus) - the largest monitor lizard native to Australia, and fourth largest lizard on earth, after the Komodo Dragon). Feral animals include the camel. Pastoral leases lie on the edge of the desert, and in some areas escaped grazing animals such as sheep compete with the local fauna for sparse resources.
