The Largest Marsupials: The Red Kangaroos

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.

The red kangaroo is the world’s largest marsupial. Red kangaroos can move around very quickly on their large and powerful legs. They can hop as fast as 35 miles (56 kilometers)

They have short fur with a slightly bushy tail and short, rounded ears. They also have a medium length muzzle. These creatures are omnivorous, nocturnal, and are usually solitary mammals. They like to live mostly earthbound and near water where shell fish is

almost twice as much as the adult female and may reach a height of about 4.5 feet while the female measures between 3 – 3.5 feet. Their bodies are covered with a coarse, long, reddish-brown hair. They not only have senses

The Aye-aye has great eyes, black wool, large ears, and an extensive and shaggy tail. The body is 16 inches large plus its tail that is two feet long.

These beautiful thick fur, grey, with a little tinge of brown koalas are herbivorous marsupial that can range up to 9kg (20 lb) in weight. Their nutrient cycle is eating eucalyptus leaves, koalas don’t drink that much water they get it from the leaves. Koalas can eat up to two and a half pounds a day. They can rest up to 22 hours each day. They are able to rest for that long because their bodies need a lot of energy to diet the gum leaves, koalas also sleep to save energy. These koalas like to live in tall open eucalypt forest.

First up, is the appearance of a few native species. “Early in geological history, Australia was cut off from the rest of the world’s land masses”, which may explain why the species there are so unusual in their appearance (Source 1). One native species is the Kangaroo, which is a large marsupial with long hind legs that allow them to have incredible speeds of up to 56 kilometers per hour! They also have a long tail, which helps with balance (Source 1). Since kangaroos are marsupials, that means they carry their young in a pouch, which is typically found on the stomach area. Other marsupials include

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

According to Wikipedia, red foxes have reddish-brown fur that varies in colors from rust red to black. They have tails that are as long as their body, and in some cases, longer. The tail is called a ‘brush’ and they use it like a blanket to cover themselves to keep warm. Their eyes are usually brown, amber, or greenish-yellow. Unlike other members of the canine family, they have slitted pupils like a cat’s. Red foxes are 18-35 inches when fully grown, and their legs are stubby for a creature of their length. Did you know that fox dens are called earths? Also, males foxes are called dogs and a group of foxes is called a skulk.

The role of hemagglutinin (HA) , which is one of the abundant & immunodominant glycoprotein on the surface of the influenza virus ,is very important as an immunogen in anti-influenza vaccines (Gamblin & Skehel.,2010). HA is a major glycoprotein in the viral lipid envelope membrane with a distal globular head that mediates host-cell receptor binding followed by a membrane-proximal stalk domain which directs fusion of viral envelope with the host cell(Kaminski &Lee ,2011). The current split-virus vaccines predominantly induce antibodies to the surface glycoprotein like HA ,NA . Due to antigenic drift ,the surface glycoproteins undergo mutations, therefore the three influenza strains are included in seasonal IIV (influenza A(H1N1) and A(H3N2) and influenza B) which are evaluated for their ability to generate neutralizing antibodies against the circulating influenza strains (Waffarn E. & Baumgarth N.,2011). . After vaccination with inactivated Influenza vaccine , it results in both local and systemic responses generation. .Within 2 weeks of vaccination, 90% of vaccines found to have protective antibody titres (Cox RJ.1994) .In humans, hemagglutinin specific effector T-cells are found to be major proliferating subsets of T-cells which are seen after stimulation by HA molecule (Novak et al 1999).

The koala has low genetic diversity. Koalas are mammals and they can live up to 20 years. Their diet is herbivor. Koalas size is 60 to 85 cm plus their weight is around 9kg. Their habitat is the highest branches of eucalyptus trees, known as the gum tree.

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.

        In reality, the Scarlet Letter is many things. It has all the characteristics of a modern-day soap opera, but it is way more than some television show cast on ABC. It could be a sermon being shouted from a church attendee, but no; the Puritans are surely not the heroes in this novel. It could be a story of failure, for there are many failures cast upon the main characters, or it could be a story of revenge from an angry husband. And, maybe it could even be a story of creativity-- the attempt of one to see their artistic side in a community who disapproves a mind of imagination. The novel could mean a multitude of things, only noticed

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

My Mom hung up the phone before she could start crying and I took off my headphone, stared at my laptop screen, thought about how much she missed me and had no idea what to do or what I should do next. That had been the way we finished every phone call for the last three weeks – the three weeks I’d been away from home. Of course I knew that I would go to a class, but what should I do for today, for tomorrow, and for my future? It was somehow so hard to see things clear. Every time we talked, I saw her in my mind with long curvy hair, deep hazelnut brown eyes and thin lips, and promised myself I would be the big girl she could be proud of. She was a mother who did everything for her children, and she did all her best to give me the best education and a chance to follow my dream, so there was no way I’d let her down (and also let me down). I always considered myself as a lucky one, because since I was a very young kid, I had already known who I desired to be, what I could do, what I was supposed to do to achieve my goals. And my Mom was the reason that made me even so
