Ecology Koala

Thirteen bird species and ninety-six species of reptiles and frogs are found across the Flinders semi-arid biome. The mammal species that live there are yellow-footed rock-wallabies, emus, flinders ranges worm-lizard and kangaroos. There are animals in my biome that are used by humans. For example, Kangaroos and Emus are farmed for their meat. Restaurants serve kangaroo and emu steaks on their menus. Supermarkets have kangaroo meat for sale. Kangaroo meet is also used as pet food for cats and

Species possibly saved as a result of population management include the Koala, Partula snails, and Sarracenia alabamensis. The koala was experiencing a population decline in Australia which prompted an initiative known as the Koala Habitat Program. The goal of this program is to increase the size of the habitat for the koala. The Queensland Government has provided $22.5 million in funding to acquire new land (Queensland Government, 2014). The Partula snail is another species very critically endangered. As this species’ population recovers in captivity, the hope is to release them into the wild. This process has to be done carefully after the African land snail was imported to a small island in the Pacific and soon got out of control. This snail was eating the crops that grow on the island. Eventually, a second species of snail, the Florida rosy wolfsnail, was brought in to prey on the Partula snail to get the population under control (Marwell Wildlife, 2014). The Sarracenia Alabamensis, also known as the Cane-brake pitcher plant, was in need of a program to stabilize its population. This plant was endangered because it was located in areas where land was cheap to acquire and when the land was developed, it reduced the number of plants. The first program

Among the many different marsupials in the world, there is one that stands out and is recognized, not only for its looks, but also for the hardships that it deals with in being a koala. The koala originated in Australia, and was discovered by trappers around the time of 1798. Many rare and exotic animals have been found in Australia, because of its remoteness and isolation from most of the civilized world. Australia has been described as a huge ark, a giant lifeboat, cut off from contact with the rest of the world and carrying with it a group of unique creatures (Serventy 1975). The creatures that inhabit Australia are made up of many different classifications of animal groups that have found themselves all living

Kangaroo enclosures should be spot raked daily, and it is essential that the feed area is kept very clean to reduce the likelihood of disease. Drinking water should be kept elevated and off the ground to prevent

Australia, once known as a massive jail for British prisoners, is now more famous for something slightly more sightly; its exotic fauna. As a continent that is separated geologically from the rest of the world, natural selection has made the animals of the “Land Down Under” incredibly unique in comparison to the rest of the world. The history of Australia’s unique species is one rife with adaptation, including both native and invasive creatures, with startling attributes ranging from their appearance, reproduction, and even their diets.

The koala is a medium sized marsupial living around the eastern and southern coasts of Australia.

Australia's wildlife is unique. The immense majority of the animals that live there are not found anywhere else and the things were no different 1 million years ago during the Pleistocene: the age of the super-sized mammal. Before humanity became Earth's undoubted superpower, giant beasts of all shapes and sizes conquered every continent, but the Pleistocene mammals of Australia were disparate. Some of them could develop to the size of small cars, or possessed teeth longer than knife

Let’s start with the wildlife in Australia. There are marsupials such as Koalas, Kangaroos, and platypus. Also, there is Australia’s largest native bird. You can find these extraordinary animals easily in the wild.

Red Kangaroos are marsupial herbivores who are only native to Australia and Papa New Guinea. They are the world largest

When you are an animal, life is a balancing act. Each day is a quest to find food to survive. Not only humans but also kangaroos, isn’t it?

it is colder in the south. The koala has only one relative, the wombat. Koalas

Macropus – *Macropus is commonly known as kangaroo (Fig.25.3) *It is found in arid and semi arid habitats of Australia, Tasmania and New Guinea. *Males are larger than females. *Males have short, red-brown fur, fading to pale buff below and on the limbs. Females are smaller than males and are blue-grey with

Many animals have become endangered. The frog and the koala are two of these animals. They have similar things making them become endangered. Although, they also have many different things making them become endangered. Here are some of the things that are similar and different.

Several plant species like nuts and kernels are endangered due to overexploitation. Animals are also endangered now such as gorillas, chimpanzees, guenons etc. “In fact, the lowland gorilla which is endemic to the Cross River National Park at Mbe Mountain is seriously endangered through hunting and habitat destruction,”. Not only plants and primates, amphibians are also affected by deforestation. Several species of fruit bats, fish, snails etc. are also threatened (Mfon et al, 2014 p.86).
