Indigenous Life (原生生物の生態?, lit.: "Primitive Creature Ecology") is a category from the Exploration Notes menu in Pikmin 3. It holds 30 Data Files that share tips and information about the life forms found in areas of PNF-404. Most of these Data Files can be found around the area terrain, just about anywhere, hidden or not.

In this article, unless otherwise specified, the text provided is the same in both the US and European versions. Pikmin 3 Deluxe changes some of the Data Files.
