Fauna
Christmas Island is an isolated, oceanic island that has never been near a large land mass. This isolation has created a unique set of ecological relationships characterised, among other aspects, by the evolution of new species and sub-species restricted to Christmas Island, and profound changes in the biology of immigrant species establishing their niche on the island. The island is also a focal point for seabirds of various species.
