Animals

Attland is called the Little Australia for its unique plant and animal life.

Isolated from the main continent, Attland's plants and animals have evolved into unique species so that scientists describe it as an alien paradise on Earth. The endemic animals of Attland are:

• are all small, no bigger than a domestic cat
• only 6 species of mammals: the tiger cat, bats, tarsiers, monkeys, hyraxes and shrews
• many bats and tarsiers are uniquely marsupials, some having unusual adaptations as marsupials (dental formula, reproductive system)
• mammals are greatly outnumbered by thousands of species of birds, insects, mollusks, reptiles, amphibians, and fish
• many birds are non-flying
• predators are terrestrial and small: the tiger cat, lizards, beach crab, and the large bats,
• there are no poisonous animals
• no apex predators
• there are no snakes
• there are no endemic pigeons or sparrows, their niches filled by similar parrots;
• many flightless parrots 
• Northern (white) albatross, the only albatross of the North Atlantic;
• contain the only habitat of North American monkeys;
• most aquatic life migrate between sea and the 2 rivers, including river sharks and dolphins
• many fish are air-breathing, except the catfish
• no migratory birds

some of the most interesting animals are:

• Spinner spider, produced by the spiders dependent on lilac bees which feed on nectar lily juice, muell and mulberry tree flowers.
• Lilac bee honey, a bee that has many characteristics of a bumble bee
• Flying monkeys, troll- or gremlin bats: marsupial bats, especially the large species found in the Chasm
• pigeon quail
• marsupial hyrax and shrews
• several types of birds having an egg pouch: canaries, mousebirds and hummingbirds
• marsupial tarsiers, the only marsupial primates
• bush babies, which are regular, placental tarsiers,
• monkeys
• Ornimegalonyx oteroi - large, long-legged owl that lives and hunts on the ground, uses wings to reach higher branches
• air-breathing fish vaguely related to bettas, and having mammalian carnivore dentition
• river sharks and dolphins

The animal world of Attland is unique from other isolated environments because it does not exhibit island gigantism. Another unique feature of the animals world is an unusually large number of marsupial species, and the absence of large or apex carnivores. The island also lacks snakes.
