Field Guide Northern Territory

Museums Victoria

About this app

Explore the Northern Territory's unique and diverse wildlife at home or in the great outdoors with the Museum & Art Gallery of the Northern Territory's Field Guide app.
The app combines detailed animal descriptions with stunning imagery and sounds to provide a valuable reference that can be used in urban, bush and coastal environments. It holds descriptions of nearly 600 species, from animals found in tropical rivers and reefs, the outback desert, and your backyard; covering colourful birds, iconic fish and mammals, crocodiles and dangerous snakes, through to tiny termites. We’ve put in a lot of species, but it’s still a fraction of the complete fauna of the Northern Territory. Our scientists will continue to add additional species and refine descriptions over time.

If you have trouble either downloading the app or with the app crashing, please refer to our app support page.(http://museumvictoria.com.au/discoverycentre/museum-victoria-apps/mv-field-guide-to-victoria-app/support/)

Ratings and reviews

Great app. Very helpful and exactly what I have looking for. It would be good if we could separate species by regional distribution (i.e. Top End/ Barkly/ Central). That would help to narrow things down a bit. Good job museum!

It would be good to be able to upload photos for identification as well being able to add species that are known to an area but not found on app (eg: Gilbert's dragon, prolific in Yulara region, not listed in app)

I feel that this app needs an urgent update. There have been so many times I've been unable to find creatures in the guide that I've encountered in the environment in which we live.
