	Malleefowl
		The Malleefowl (Leipoa ocellata) is a stocky ground-dwelling Australian bird about the size of a domestic chicken (to which it is distantly related).
		It occupies semi-arid mallee scrub[?] on the fringes of the relatively fertile areas of southern Australia, where it is now reduced to three separate populations: the Murray-Murrumbidgee[?] basin, west of Spencer Gulf along the fringes of the Simpson Desert[?], and the semi-arid fringe of Western Australia's fertile south-west corner.
		Like the Southern Hairy-nose Wombat it is particularly vulnerable to the increasing frequency and severity of drought that has resulted from climate change.

		The eggs are incubated by being deposited in mounds made of decaying vegetation which produce enough heat for incubation, or in coastal sands, the heat of the sun is sufficient to incubate the eggs.
		The Malleefowl, Leipoa ocellata, Leipoa means to leave an egg and ocellata means marked with little eyes, a reference to the pattern on the back and wing feathers.
		The Malleefowl, apart from isolated areas of the south western coast of Western Australia, inhabits the arid areas of the southern inland of South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales, areas that experience pratically semi-desert conditions, low rainfall and long hot summers.
