produce milk to suckle their young. Mammals have fur or hair. There are three types of mammals and examples of each type are found in Australia.
1).Monotremes are mammals that lay soft-shelled eggs. They can be found in Australia and New Guinea. Two monotremes are:
1)Platypus.
2)Echidna (Spiny Anteater).

Слайд 3Marsupials are mammals that give birth to young which are

in an immature state.
The main groups of the 180 species

of marsupials are:
Kangaroos.
Possums.
Carnivorous Marsupials.
Koalas, Wombats,

MARSUPIALS.

Слайд 4The kangaroo is unique to Australia is our largest marsupial (animals

that carry and nurse their young). The kangaroo actually appears on

our coat of arms making it our most easily recognized mammal. A baby kangaroo is called a joey. Joeys are raised in their mother's pouch, suckling from the teats inside, until they are about one year old.

Слайд 5This dingo in central Australia actually came up to my

hand and sniffed it to see if I had any

food for him. Seeing that I didn’t he ran off and made himself comfortable in the shade of some tussocks. I took a few shots with the telelense as he was a fair way from me. From these photos I did this drawing. It is not the entire piece, just a detailed section

Слайд 6Feral cats are found throughout Australia. They kill many animals

including small mammals, birds, frogs, reptiles and insects. Cats threaten

the only mainland population of bandicoot in the state of Victoria.

Clearing and grazing have greatly reduced the numbers of peninsula

guinea flowers (Hibbertia paeninsularis) on the Eyre Peninsula, South Australia.

unique and colourful Australian animals such as the goldens-houldered parrot.

Слайд 9Little terns nest in colonies along beaches where they are

easily disturbed by people, off – road vehicles and dogs.

Wildlife agencies and volunteers fence off the nest sites and patrol the beaches to help protect this small seabird.

Слайд 10Habitat loss and fishing have decreased the number of fish

in the Murray Darling River system.

Слайд 11Foхes are partly responsible for the decline in numbers of

brush – tailed bettongs, plains wanderers and other ground –

dwelling animals. Introduced to Australia in the 1860’ s, foхes now occur throughout most of Australia. Where they are absent, in Tasmania and tropical Australia, the loss of small mammals has been less.

Слайд 12More than 400 species of reptiles are known in Australia.

Some are similar to overseas species, some are unique.

Reptiles

Слайд 13
Rabbits have been amongst the most destructive of all introduced

animals. They occur across Australia, eхcept in the tropics. They

have permanently damaged large parts of arid Australia by overgrazing. As well as eating the more palatable grasses, rabbits will even ringbark shrubs and trees.
