Description
Banksia baueri is also known as the Woolly Banksia. Such flowers attract honey eating birds, but probably also feed the honey possum (a tiny possum-like creature, along with various insects. The dense nature of the shrub would also provide a safe environment for nesting birds, plus a great place for many ground living animals to live permanently, or to take refuge.
