The fauna of the Australian Capital Territory includes representatives from most major Australian animal groups. == Crustaceans == The ACT has five species of freshwater crayfish in its rivers. The Murray River crayfish has an ornate spiny abdomen with four rows of spines, and two large white claws. Males have larger claws than females, and females have a fatter abdomen. The thorax has two rows of small spines. It can grow its carapace to 150 mm long. It is found in the Murrumbidgee, Cotter and Paddys Rivers, but has been extirminated by overfishing and heavy metal poisoning in the Molonglo River. A red crayfish ''Euastacus nobilis crassus'' is found in the swamps on Mount Franklin and Mount Gingera. The 5 cm long ''Engaeus parvulus'' produces a mound of dirt around the entrance of its burrow, which has a subterranean chamber more than 30 cm in diameter, and has it own pool of water at the base. Small pools of water hold the tiny ''Daphnia'', copepods and ostracods. Slaters (Oniscidea) are terrestrial crustaceans. ''Armadillidium vulgare'' is frequent in gardens, coloured metallic grey, and rolls up into perfect balls. ''Porcellio scaber'' and ''Porcellio laevis'' have also been introduced, and can be found in Canberra gardens.〔''A Field Guide to Crustaceans of Australian Waters'', Diana Jones and Gary Morgan, Reed 1994, ISBN 0-7301-0403-6〕
