The Australian bustard is a large ground dwelling bird which is common at grassland, woodland and open agricultural country across northern Australia and southern New Guinea. This bustard stands at about one metre high, the wingspan is around twice this length. The species is nomadic, flying to areas when food becomes plentiful, and capable of travelling long distances. They were once widespread and common to open plains of Australia, becoming rare in regions that became populated during the colonisation of Australia. The diet of Ardeotis australis is omnivorous, they mostly consume the fruit or seed of plants, but include invertebrates such crickets or grasshoppers and smaller mammals, birds or reptiles. The species is also commonly referred to as the plains turkey, and in Central Australia as bush turkey, particularly by Aboriginal people who hunt it, although this name may also be used for the Australian brushturkey as well as the orange-footed scrubfowl.

Sigaus australis is the most common alpine grasshopper found in New Zealand. It can be found in the lower half of the South Island, from the Otago and Canterbury Region. S. australis was described in 1897 by Frederick Wollaston Hutton. Like all of New Zealand sub-alpine and alpine grasshoppers S. australis has a 2 or 3 years life cycle. The eggs must ‘overwinter’ before they will hatch. Hoppers are found throughout the year, and adult grasshoppers can be found throughout the New Zealand summer between December and April. The adult S. australis do not overwinter. The genus Sigaus is endemic to New Zealand.
