Page "Lakefield National Park" Paragraph 9

Reptiles, amphibia and mammals are also present, sometimes in quite large numbers.

Mammals include, dingoes, wallabies, possums, foxes, feral cattle and wild pigs.

Wild pigs sometimes reach such large numbers that they have to be culled.

Reptiles are represented by numerous species of snakes, with the brown snake, death adder and the taipan being the three most dangerous.

Both are very poisonous and potentially lethal.

Monitor lizards ( goannas ) are also fairly numerous, especially the yellow-spotted monitor Varanus panoptes.

Frogs are also fairly numerous, especially the green tree frog, Litoria caerulea, but there are many others.

The introduced cane toad is present in the park, and may be competing with some of the native animals.

Other introduced species, such as pigs, cattle and horse roam throughout the park.
