What is it? . . . . . . A bird, a plane, a part from a car or perhaps a rare pre-Columbian artifact? . . . Use your imagination, combined with all your knowledge and experience, plus any clues in the picture, to figure out what it is! |

Christmas Island is a part of Australia, located in the Indian Ocean west of the mainland. According to the Aussie government website, "Christmas Island supports a wide range of unique and unusual species and habitats, and although it has been mined for phosphates for much of the past century, most of the natural ecosystem remains intact. The declaration of the Christmas Island National Park in 1980, and extensions in 1986 and 1989, placed over sixty percent of the Island under formal protection. The Park contains the last remaining nesting habitat in the world of the endangered Abbott's booby and also supports the world's largest remaining robber crab population and probably contains the largest and most diverse land crab community anywhere." |
