Also known by its specific name, the Joculator Angel occurs only on the Cocos (Keeling,) Islands and Christmas Island in the Eastern Indian Ocean, two Australian territories 980km apart, with Cocos being situated in between Australia and Sri Lanka and Christmas Island lying south of Java, Indonesia.
