Purnululu National Park has an abundance of wildlife, with some species unique to the region. The Park is classified as a Eucalypt dominated open woodland with 619 different species of plants. The many grasses in the Park have had to evolve significantly to cope with the extreme environmental conditions and so too the wildlife.
