My Report On The Australian Kangaroos

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

Red Kangaroos have developed a behavioural adaptation, which involves travelling long distances in search of fresh food and water as discussed by Barker and Greenslade (1982). Research indicates that the number of red kangaroos, which may be found in areas that have recently received rainfall, is 270 times greater than areas without rainfall (Barker & Greenslade 1982).

While Kangaroos are native Australian animals, they are overpopulated and are a threat to the environment. In an editorial, published by The Herald Sun, it was estimated that there were 'about

Special care and attention must be given to infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) because of their small size and the health complications they face. One particular challenge faced by health care professionals in the NICU is the management of pain for preterm babies. Preterm infants must undergo a wide range of tests, procedures, and, often, life-saving measures during their hospitalizations, which not only subjects them to pain, but pain-related stress and anxiety. This has an impact on the infants themselves, as well as on the family members and friends who are involved in their care (Smith, Steelfisher, Salhi, & Shen, 2012). The purpose of this paper is to examine the problem of pain management among preterm NICU patients and propose the implementation of kangaroo care as a pain management technique.

These include the great toe or hallux on the hind feet. This helps the kangaroo grasp onto branches as it climbs

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.

Arriving in Australia in 2010, at the Brisbane Airport, I looked forward to owning a Koala as a pet, and kangaroos jumping around in my front yard. I was sorely disappointed when I found out that this was not the case. A few months later I was faced with reality.

Meet this amazing creature the Toolache Wallaby, better known as the Mocropus Greyi. This wallaby looks like it's related to a kangaroo. The wallaby stands on two legs, hopes like a kangaroo, and has a black muzzle, this amazing animal is sadly extinct, thanks Europeian wolf, (IUCN red list) We would have a vast variety of wallabys. Once, this animal had a very minimal danger but then the Europeans introduced a new species to this land of Australia and many other locations(Australian government department of the environment energy). This animal was introduced in 1845. This wallabys diet consists of birds, small rodents, and small reptile(IUNC red list). The Toolache Wallaby's habitat is made

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

Australia have many animals that comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors. They all have different ways of adapting to the environment. In Australia, they have more than 378 mammal species. Some stay in trees and some stay on land.

Wombats are herbivores that feed at night and mainly eat grasses. Some of these grasses include snow tussocks for Bare-nosed wombats and spear and perennial grasses for Southern Hairy-nosed wombats. They also eat herbs, roots, fungi, leaves, mosses, marsh plants and seem to prefer young tender grass shoots when available. Bare-nosed wombats also forage for food along the seashore. During droughts they also tend to dig up dead grass to get to the roots. Wombats must also conserve energy because their diet is low in protein and high in fiber. Since Hairy-nosed wombats live in dry climates often the only water they get is from their food and they do not drink much water. Bare-nosed wombats however, like to drink water frequently. These marsupials

These native and introduced species have adapted to life through a series of biological adaptations as well as infiltration of the Australian food web. The first line of adaptation to life in Australia is biological adaptations of diet and lifestyle.

Camels were a vital part of the African, Australian, and partly Mediterranean culture and heritage. But part of camels being in this culture is some of their personal characteristics and traits. Surprisingly when the continents were connected together camels roamed in Europe, but then they moved as a species to Africa, in which this paper will mainly be discussing. Camels are seen mainly as a part of African and Middle eastern culture but actually affected almost all of the world. According to an article from LiveScience, a credible source for background on a variety of discoveries and facts, “ Camels: Facts, Types & Pictures”, there are different types of camels: the Dromedary and the Bactrian. The Dromedary camel also known as Camelus dromedarius, has one hump, the Bactrian camel also known as Camelus bactrianus, which has two humps. The humps of both camels are to store fat and and water.

The kangaroo represents Australia’s cultural and social background and is internationally recognisable. It represents the Australian character in many ways including: Its size, strength and speed, which make it a national logo/emblem for Australian organisations and especially sporting clubs. Kangaroo’s are also symbolic of another Australian trait; to stick up for your self and not back down. With their large feet and long tail kangaroos find it hard to move backwards, indicating that Australians are people who are moving forward and growing as people of Australia.

desert were taller and lean. The Aboriginals lived solely by hunting and food gathering. Each group accumulated detailed knowledge of the habits, cycles, and and food values of the plants, insects reptiles, marsupials, and fish
