Monotremes

They have many kinds of spiders (Funnel Webs, Redneck Spiders, and the Mouse spider), types of fishes , and many mammals (Kangaroos, Dingos, and Koalas). They also have the most dangerous and deadly animals in the world. One of my favorite types of fishes from Australia is the stone fish, its dangerous and very poisonous but looks just like a stone which makes it a very cool

Aboriginal people seem to have lived a long time in the same environment as the now extinct Australian

The Northern Territory, which covers over one-sixth of the Australian continent, contains a variety of habitats in which numerous species of wildlife live. These habitats range from the tropical north or Top End to the arid desert regions in the south. Several feral animals, including large mammals, inhabit these regions. Feral species in the Northern Territory include introduced wild animals such as rabbits, foxes, cane toads and deer. They also include livestock include buffalo, cattle, horses, donkey, camels and pigs.

An example of an invasive species is “Cane Toad.” The cane toad was supposed to get rid of sugar cane pest, but then it came a pest. It only has a few predators outside from where it lives.But when animals try to eat it a discharge of poison goes on it’s skin and the predator gets poisoned and dies in a few minutes.Also it has been released into out of zoos on purpose.The cane toad used to live in South America and mainland middle of America, now it has been moved to Oceania and the Caribbean also North Australia.What people do is they eat toad and make soup of their eggs but this ends up killing them.

Australia is known for their exotic animals, but one factor that has affected their beauty was the feral camels. The feral camels had caused much damage towards the native systems and land. Most natural resources, such as waterholes were ruined by them. Today, Australian camels make up the largest wild herd in the world, estimating about a million. The feral camel was originated from British India and Afghanistan for transportation. They were brought to Australia from the Canary Islands in the 1840s. As roads were built, the camels were released into the wildlife, where the population grew out. With no predators or vast sparsely, the camels are expected to increase gradually. Camels feed on 80 percent of Australia’s plant species and have caused

Australia’s North West is home to an amazing array of mammals, from wallabies, possums, dingoes, euros, flying foxes and quolls to nocturnal species like sugar gliders and the endangered bilby and Bandicoot. There are also poisonous and dangerous animals as well like crocodiles and snakes.

The Australian climate goes through long cycles of drought, and even in rainy years, food sources can still be scarce. If a particular species bred up quickly during the few years when there is plenty, then once the years of scarcity started, the population would be too high to sustain obviously. Platypus on the other end

Many people will confuse the dingo with a domesticated canine but the truth is the dingos were the step right before the true domestication of dogs in Australia. The time of arrival , the source and type of animal wild or domestic, were all uncertain. “There hasn’t been a lot of evidence, so everything has been speculation,” says Alan Wilton, of the University of New South Wales. The oldest fossil found in Australia dates from about 3,500 years ago. Dingoes can live in a wide range of habitats found on the Australian mainland. Their preference is woodland and grassland areas that extend to the edge of forests; they are only limited by access to viable water sources.

Aboriginal and Torres Trait Islander people migrated to Australia from Asia and Africa about40,000 years ago.They had a nomadic lifestyle.They hunted animals for food and used weapons made of wood and metal to hunting eg:-Boomerang.

The aboriginal Australians have survived thousands of years on what they call a hunter gather diet. The diet consists of emu, lizards, moths, kangaroo and snakes as well as berries, roots and honey which are referred as ‘bush tucker’. Seafood also had a big part in aboriginal culture, which most of the sea life was caught with spears and hooks made from branches, rocks etc. When the British settlers came in 1770 they unfortunately didn’t like or understand the aboriginal diet. So in response to this they decided to make a more familiar European diet. Sheep, cattle and other familiar European animals were introduced throughout Australia and familiar crops were planted as well. Flour was used to make bread and damper (thicker bread which was

Throughout the years, the Murray Darling Basin has become home to a large number of different animals, developing towns bring in pets and attracting new birds, while agriculture brings in cattle and sheep; animals that have never touched hoof of Australian soil without it being brought in by man. However, some animals brought in for one reason, could end up doing another job that can destroy entire ecosystems, bring in disease that can kill several thousand animals, or hunt another animal to extinction. “Pest (Noun) 1. A destructive insect or other animal that attacks crops, food, livestock etc.’ (Dictionary.com). Pests such as the European Carp are common throughout the Murray Darling Basin, and are one of the most devastating of the pest in the local area.

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

Australia is a diverse and multicultural that allows anyone who needs safety and shelter to come to Australia and feel safe and free. Australia wasn’t always like this there was a time where immigrants could not come into the “Safe Haven”. To get away from poverty, war and diseases.

Australia is both the smallest and oldest continent in the world, and it is the only country that is also a continent. [1] It is an island located between the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific, just south of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. At 2,941,299 square miles, Australia is the sixth-largest country in the world and only about 150,000 square miles (about the size of Montana) smaller than the continental United States. Its interior land is a flat and sparsely populated desert, but as you move outward the climate changes to grassland, subtropical, tropical, and even temperate in the southeastern region. [1] While more than 70% of Australia is arid, the rest includes a variety of rich environments including flood plains,

Animals are very important in our environment, so we want to keep them alive and thriving, but not all animals belong in their environments. So the real question is how do animals who didn’t originate in their new environments survive? Well the answer is that they have great factors that keep them thriving like, being adaptable to weather, being large in size, and even having aggressive behavior.
