Australian Animals

          It is interesting to notice that Australia has got an extraordinary collection of birds and animals. Many of them are found only there.

         A. For example, Australia is the home of kangaroos. The biggest kangaroo is the red kangaroo. They can jump more than four metres and travel at seventy  kilometres an hour. Kangaroos eat grass and leaves and live in small groups.

           B.Everybody loves the sleepy grey koalas. Like kangaroos, they have a pouch on their fronts for their babies. After six months in the pouch, baby koalas ride on their mother`s back.Koalas drink nearly nothing. The word   “ koala” means  “no water». The koala only looks like a bear but in fact it is a different animal.

            C.Two Australian animals, the echidna and the duckbill are really very unusual. Their babies come from eggs.The echidna and duckbill babies drink milk from their mothers. No other animals in the world do this. The duckbill swims well but it can stay under water only for  some minutes.

            D.There are more than eight  hundred  kinds of birds in Australia. The continent is the home of budgies and some kinds of parrots. The emu which is two metres tall, is the second largest bird in the world.
