While the vertebrates are the stars, the invertebrates are ubiquitous.
Reptiles
 |
| Lizard along the Dubuji boardwalk. |
 |
| Lizard in the car park at the Rainforest Discovery Centre. |
 |
| Goanna at the Cape Trib Beach House. "Goanna" is a corruption of "iguana", but is really a monitor lizard - and the inspiration for "Joanna" in the Disney animated film The Rescuers Down Under. |
 |
| Crocodile along Coopers Creek. |
Crustacean
 |
| Crab in the mud along the Kulki boardwalk. |
Insects
 |
| Water strider along the Dubuji boardwalk. |
 |
| Dragonfly along the Dubuji boardwalk. Unfortunately, Evinrude, the outboard dragonfly, is not in The Rescuers Down Under, only in the original The Rescuers. |
 |
| Stick insect in the Rainforest Discovery Centre. |
Spiders
Large spiders were everywhere in Australia!
 |
| A colorful orb weaver along the Kulki boardwalk. |
 |
| Jewel spider on Coopers Creek. |
 |
| Golden Orb Weaver at Cape Trib Beach House. |
