    Extractions: Cockatoo Because Australia is an island, and has been for millions of years, its wildlife has been able to evolve independently. The animals of Australia are particularly interesting because many of them are distinctly primitive. There are groups of animals whose relatives have long since disappeared from other parts of the world. Many of the animals found in this country are unique. Australia is home to a variety of native mammals both on land and in the surrounding oceans. They consist of marsupials, monotremes and placental mammals. The largest number of the mammals, almost half, are the marsupials, which include the Kangaroo, Koala and Wombat. The word marsupial is derived from the Latin marsupium , which means pouch. The pouch gives protection to the very young animal and contains the teats from which it feeds. Nourished on its mother's milk, it grows in the pouch to a well-developed stage before it leaves the pouch. The only other country where marsupials are still found is America, and only a few species remain. The next group of mammals are the monotremes, the only egg-laying mammals in the world. They have one opening which serves for reproduction and for the elimination of waste products. This group is represented by the Platypus and the Echidna.

    Extractions: Talune Wildlife Park Tasmanian devils have an unwarranted reputation of being savage beasts. These creatures have got such a name for their threatening yawn and look. Moreover, this savageness is misconceived from their great variety of noises from harsh coughs to high pitch screeches, but in reality they scream rather from fear and uncertainty than from aggression. Often they use their voices to challenge other animals and minimize harmful fighting. High-pitch screams are used to establish dominance at feeding around a carcass. They sneeze before a fight, which is a spectacular bluff behavior after which one of the Tasmanian devils will surely back down. Tasmanian devils have to compete for everything: food, shelter and mating. The males are more aggressive than the females. When under stress, Tasmanian devils produce a strong odor. These animals are very shy and are seldom seen by people. Tasmanian devils are nocturnal animals and during the day they hide in the dens. If little food is available, the Tasmanian devil can travel up to 16 km along their well-defined trails in search for food. These animals are not territorial, but have home ranges. Social interactions are frequent during their feeding time, but usually Tasmanian devils are solitary. All adult Tasmanian devils have several dens within its home range, which they share with other animals.

    Extractions: Order Dasyuromorpha In many ways, these are Australia's forgotten marsupials. There are in fact over 50 species of these generally predatory marsupials (Strahan 1998), making it the biggest family of marsupials (Egerton 199), yet they are little known by the general public. This is probably the result of the fact that, unlike kangaroos and possums, the dasyurids are very rarely seen, for on the whole they are small, fast and generally nocturnal in habit. Being predators, they are also at the top of the food chain, and naturally less abundant. Most dasyurids prey on insects and other invertebrates. However, they are well known amongst biologists for their tenacious nature and it is not uncommon for them to tackle prey that are larger than themselves, such as small birds and other mammals. The bigger dasyurids will catch larger birds and feed on carcasses. In turn, they are prey for many Australian snakes, although it has been suggested that the aggressive nature of dasyurids has resulted in the high incidence of strongly venomous snakes in Australia relative to the rest of the world (Martin 1993). Like many predators, they have evolved a fairly uniform morphology. Dasyurids tend to have four equal length limbs. The tail is not prehensile (Strahan and Cayley 1995) and may be covered in hair, be fluffy, or have a tuft at the end; in fact the group's name 'Dasyurid' means 'hairy tail' in Greek (Stahan and Cayley 1995). The head usually has large round ears and a elongated snout. Being predators, the long snout is filled with small, sharp teeth.

    Extractions: by Bob Cleaver please click on thumbnail to enlarge General Macropus is derived from the Latin meaning ‘big-footed’ and rufus meaning ‘red’. There are a no documented subspecies. These animals have a number of localized common names such as, the Marloo, Blue Flyer and Plains Kangaroo. Appearance The term ‘Red’ is often confusing, especially for overseas visitors. We have had many overseas people visit our place who are always surprised at the colour variation in the Red Kangaroo. The ‘Red’ can be basically any colour from a deep gunmetal blue (hence ‘Blue Flyer’) right through to a rich rusty red. There is also the misbelief that the male will be red and the female ‘blue’ (or grey). This is not the case. Either gender can be either colour as we have often demonstrated with our animals. Having said that, it

33. Australia's Unique Animals
    In general, marsupials often are considered less “advanced” because theylack the complex internal reproductive system of placental mammals.  
    http://www.apologeticspress.org/faq/r&r8908b.htm
    
    Extractions: There could be any number of reasons that God created both placental and non-placental forms. One possibility is that marsupials were created for a specific environment. For example, on the African savannas or North American plains, animals migrate to different areas according to the seasons, and range over huge tracts of land in search of better grazing. However, vegetation patterns in Australia do not allow such flexibility. The unique characteristics of marsupials that allow them to survive in a tough environment are indicative of good design, not blind evolution. After the Flood, marsupials may have migrated to Australia across land connections or narrow waterways. Perhaps there is a supernatural element involving the second point made above. That is, God, having created specially equipped creatures, may have directed them to settle in Australia in particular. If God can arrange for all the animals to go to Noah (Genesis 6:20), then He very well could assist and direct them in their migration from Ararat once they left the ark (Genesis 8:17).

    Extractions: Northwest Outdoor Photography During a drought when there is no water and the rains are rare, Red Kangaroos may easily survive if there is enough grass and plant life from which it can get water. These animals like to sleep out in the open air although, when it is too hot, they like to hide in the shades of the trees. To keep cool the Red Kangaroo will lick its coat. This big animal has a long body about 65 inches with a tail 42 inches long that acts as a steering rudder. They weigh up to 198 pounds with the males usually bigger than the females. They have long pointed ears. Their front legs are small whereas their back legs are big and very strong with long feet. Their long powerful tail is used for balance when hopping and leaping. The kangaroos, especially the females, are blue-gray in color despite their name. The male Red Kangaroos have short dense woolly fur and are colored pale red to a brick red. In some areas the kangaroos may be both red. Even though these animals look cuddly, they are to be approached with caution. They have evolved with a large claw attached to its hind leg; therefore this makes these marsupials very dangerous. The muzzle is dusky, naked and sharply defined. There are distinctive black and white patches on each side of the muzzle. Red Kangaroos travel with their head down.

Darwin was very interested in the fact that high in the Andes of South America, he could find fossils of plants and animals that were not known in the living world. Our interest in fossils is evident by the widespread enthusiasm among a variety of persons in the movies that relate to dinosaurs. Trips to places that have fossil records such as the Petrified Forest , reveal a world that existed in areas that would not support the same type of vegetation today. Along the Atlantic ocean on the beaches of Virginia can be found tree stumps that are in the process of fossilization, trees that are common to the hardwood forests of western Virginia. These fossils can reveal a lot of information in relation to climate and past biotic history.
