Tree Kangaroo Research Paper

-Bonobo’s display a varied degree of sexual dimorphism, which is a characteristic specific to either male or female sex. When comparing the two sexes, males are more muscular and hold an average weight of 95 pounds compared to an average of 82 pounds and a slighter built female, a 15 percent weight difference between them.  Sexual dimorphism is also apparent in that males possess a unique dental trait, long canines, a feature that females lack.  Both sexes are similar in that neither has a height advantage, averaging 2.3 to 3 feet in height. (Waal 24)  Bonobo’s possess long, fine black hair covering most of the body and black colored hands and feet.  Their black faces feature wide, thick walled nostrils and long black facial hair that often covers their small ears.  Their head hair

They look for most of their food on the ground, but they will also find food in trees and shrubs. The Australian ringneck will look for food in the morning and late afternoon. They will rest during the day when it is hot. They eat seeds, fruits, flowers, nectar, insects and insect larvae. They will also eat grain that they find along roads.

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

Their height when they stand is 2-2.5 ft and their weight is 8-17 lbs! Their life span is up to 10 years old.

The western grey kangaroo, Macropus fuliginosus, who is also referred to as a black-faced kangaroo, belongs to the macropod family. This particular species of kangaroo is one of the largest macropods in Australia. They are a commonly found across almost the entire southern part of Australia. This species thrives in open woodland and forest, grassland, and can even be found throughout the outskirts of major cities.

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 the Australian Outback they have many animals including crocodiles, kangaroos, hundreds of different kinds of reptiles, and many birds. Some of the birds are native and some of them are there because of migration. There are two different kinds of crocodiles

In Tasmania this species is fully protected and the population has been increasing slowly. However, the populations on mainland Australia are so fragmented and small that they may be too small to survive. This species’ recovery in Australia depends on a nationally coordinated approach, with habitat loss, predator control and captive breeding projects all needing to be

Western grey kangaroos are strong bipedal hoppers that live in many environments such as woodlands, grass lands, open forests, scrubland and heathland (Dawson, Milne & Warburton, 2014).

The main cause of endangerment is deforestation. Deforestation is the clearing of trees and transforming a forest into clear land. This leads to habitat loss. Although it is very harmful to many species, the government does not punish anyone for deforestation. Poaching is also a huge problem. Jaguars are being poached for their unique coats. Also, jaguars are being taken into public zoos which results in death. If the jaguar did ever go extinct, the domino effect could go into action and the same thing would happen to other

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.

Marsupials are pouched animals, who give birth to undeveloped young. Common marsupials are the Kangaroo, Koalas, and Gliders. What separates the Marsupial from other Mammals is the stage of development of the young. Most babies or joeys will remain in the pouch until a new baby is born. The pouch is not an extra flab of skin, it is a muscle which the mother engages to keep the baby in place.

As implied in the male red kangaroo is typically a rich reddish-brown in colour, while the female are bluish to grey. Males have short, red to brown fur, pale marks below and on the limb. An adult male can grow up to 1.3-1.6 meters in length (without including the tail) and weighs around 50 -90 kg. Females are shorter than males as they only grow 85 - 105 cm and can weigh up 40- 50 kg and have a brown outline around their abdomen, although in barren zones females are colored more like males.

The black rhino is the smaller of the two African rhinoceros species and are further divided into four subspecies including the Western Diceros bicornis longipes, Eastern Diceros bicornic michaeli, Southwestern Diceros bicornis bicornis, and the South-Central Diceros bicornis minor (Factfile: black rhino, 2013). Black rhinos stand at approximately 1.6 meters high, can weigh between 900kg (female) to 1,350kg (males), have two horns that vary in shape and size depending on region, are dark gray in color with hair on the ears, tail tips, and eyelashes (Factfile: black rhino, 2013). Compared to the white rhino, black rhinos are smaller, have a less pronounced hump on the back of their necks, have smaller heads, are browsers (meaning they eat from higher bushes or trees), and have a hooked lip, as opposed to the flat-based lip their white rhinoceros counterparts posses (Factfile: black rhino, 2013).
