wallabies, flying foxes, lizards, green frogs, butterflies and crocodiles
add to the large variety of wildlife. The "raunwara" (waterhole)
in the centre of the Habitat has species of native fish and turtles
and adjoins a swamp where ducks and other waterbirds live.
Over thirty species of birdlife, including the magnificent Raggiana Bird of Paradise, Queen Victorias Crowned Pigeons, hornbills, parrots, brush turkeys, cassowaries and fruit doves can be found. Raised walkways and waterfalls add to the comfort and enjoyment of the jungle walk. Refreshments are served in the cool fragrance of rainforest foliage. The Rainforest Habitat, situated on the
campus of the University of Technology, with an area of more than
3,000 square metres is covered by an eleven metre high shade cloth
canopy to create an artificial rainforest environment for the
study and preservation of native flora and fauna. It forms part
of the Unitech owned insect Farming and Trading Agency (IFTA) For Further details please visit http://www.habitat.org.pg
