The Strange World of Australian Animals
Australia has been called "the land of differences " and "the continent of contrasts". It certainly is both. There are many ways in which it is different from other countries.
The first thing most people think of are the strange native animals. Early in the world's history Australia was separated from the other continents and her animals developed differently. Of these, the strangest of all are the waterloving platypus and the echidna . The appearance of the platypus is so unusual that when the skin of one was first sent to England some scientists said that no such animal could possibly exist.
Australia is also the home of the kangaroos.
The koala is a tree-loving, comical-looking animal, that lives on the leaves of eucalyptus trees. It will eat nothing more. It usually sleeps during the day.
The dingo , or wild dog, is the only killer among the native animals. You can meet dingoes in many parts of Australia, but most of them now live in mountains or hills. In some places they were a very great danger to sheep and many of them were killed for that reason.
The native birds of Australia are very interesting. The emu , for example, which, with the kangaroo, is represented on the Australian coat-of-arms , is the next-tallest bird in the world after the ostrich .
The koala and the kangaroo are found only in Australia.
