<strong>Natural</strong> <strong>sites</strong> – 3<br />
Shark Bay, in Western Australia, is on the World Heritage list because of<br />
its natural heritage value. It covers a large area along the coast of Western<br />
Australia and has an abundance of plants and animals. Some species are<br />
endangered and cannot be found anywhere else on Earth. Sea grass grows<br />
in this area and provides many species with a regular source of food. Shark<br />
Bay also has stromatolites (living fossils) growing there. This is another<br />
reason why this is a very special place in the world.<br />
