Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve is home to a wide range of Australian animals living in diverse sub-alpine habitats including wetlands, grasslands, wet and dry forests and woodlands.
The Canberra Grassland Earless Dragon (Tympanocryptis lineata) is a small lizard found at higher altitudes and in cooler regions than any other earless dragon. It is endangered under national and ACT legislation.
Northern Corroboree Frogs are brightly coloured with yellow and black patterning. They are a small frog, getting to only 3cm in length and live in sub-alpine woodlands and tall heathlands.
Tidbinbilla is the only place in the ACT where Brush-tailed Rock-Wallabies can be found.
