Houtman Abrolhos australis"), are common between April and October, when the whales are migrating. Other marine mammals sometimes sighted at the islands include pygmy Bryde's whale ("Balaenoptera edeni"), orca ("Orcinus orca"), bottlenose dolphin ("Tursiops aduncus"), common dolphin ("Delphinus delphis"), and striped dolphin ("Stenella coeruleoalba"). The green turtle ("Chelonia mydas") and the loggerhead turtle ("Caretta caretta") both live in the waters off the Houtman Abrolhos, albeit in low numbers. Neither species breeds in the area, as water temperatures are too low. The Houtman Abrolhos is unusual in having a luxuriant and diverse living coral reef at such a high latitude. 194 species in
Creature animation Creature animation Creature animation is a specialised part of the animation process which involves bringing realistic animals and creatures to life. It is often distinguished from character animation, which involves breathing life into animated characters and creating the illusion of thought, feeling and emotion. Creature animators create highly realistic motion in animals or creatures; examples include the dinosaurs animated in the 1993 Steven Spielberg film "Jurassic Park". Since dinosaurs cannot be filmed or observed in motion, the animators studied other living creatures such as birds and lizards in order to re-create how a dinosaur might move and behave. Fours year
