 * THE ANIMAL LIFE IN AUSTRALIA. **

One of the most known animals in Australia is the kangaroos. The kangaroo is the biggest marsupial animal in the world. He has long back lags which are used to jump with and the short front legs are used to support them self when they grazes. The kangaroos are born when they are not completely developed. The child crawls up and into the pouch to the mother and teat at her tit. When the baby kangaroo get’s 9 months he start to live out side the pouch, but get inside to get milk. The child is normally in the pouch for about 9 months but get’s milk for 18 months. The kangaroo families consist of 11 families and 50 species. The kangaroos live at grassy field and in the forest. ’
 * THE KANGAROO:**

Is a marsupial that lives in the trees. They got big black nose and they have a grey fur. They look like they are some calm and nice animals, but they have some big sharp claws to defend themselves. The claws are also used to climb in the eucalyptus trees where they live. Normally the koala eats leaf, and they get all the nourishments and humidity from them, so they like to stay in the trees.

The platypus is an amphibian, which is very different from the pouched animals. Even though the platypus is an amphibian, it lays eggs instead of giving birth to young ones. You can only find platypus in Eastern Australia, including Tasmania. The platypus is very unique and it has unusual features. It’s quite unique for the Australians, and it is one of the few surviving after an ordinarily extinct mammal art. The platypus hunts underwater, but lives on land. They are expert swimmers and divers. They can stay under water for several minutes. They are strong diggers; they make two burrowers, one for general living, and the other one for breeding.
