Conclusion

Australia is the home of the most amazing and unexpected creatures in the world because of its favourable weather and geographical location but, nowadays we are losing many of those species because of the degradation of their ecosystems and WE are at fault for that. We MUST preserve our rich natural environments and take care of our already hurt world so nature can follow its cycle as it has been doing since the beginning of time.

Thank you for your attention and I hope you have learnt and enjoyed my presentation.

Inside the kangaroo's pouch

As they are mammals, baby kangaroos eat breast milk from their mothers. This is a baby kangaroo being fed inside its mother's pouch.

Keen senses

Great white sharks have highly developed senses that help them locate prey. They have excellent vision both in daylight and low light conditions, and they can detect electromagnetic fields produced by the movements of other animals.

They also have a highly sensitive sense of smell, which they use to detect the scent of blood from up to a kilometre away.

Did you know?

Kangaroos are such an important symbol that, beside the Emu, they take part in the National Coat of Arms of Australia.

Tasmanian devil in Looney Tunes

In the famous Disney cartoon Looney Tunes there is a carachter who is a Tasmanian devil. The rude and naughty Taz.

The Great Barrier Reef is visible from the space!!!

Koalas, endangered animals

Few years ago, koalas were declared endengered animals. This is because of deforestation and wild fires in their habitats.

Cube-shaped scat

A fun fact about wombats it's that their poop is cube-shaped. Scientists think this could be for preventing it from rolling away, allowing wombats to mark their territory more effectively.
