KEEP READING....

AUSTRALIAAaAustralia is a country that is also a continent
it is surrounded by water and has some of the
world's weirdest animals! It's cities are known
for their beautiful beaches and also their dry
deserts. Let's keep reading to learn more!

BbBottlenose DolphinThe Bottlenose Dolphin gets its name from his
bottle-shaped snout. It is seen along the
coastline of Australia traveling in families.
And if you like to surf they might surf
the wave with you.

Cc CuttlefishThe cuttlefish is actually not a fish! It is from
the same family as the octopus, the Cephalopods.
Cuttlefish have three hearts and are one of the
most intelligent marine animals. They have 8 arms
and 2 long tentacles.

DingoDdThe Dingo is in the same family of the dog, but
it is more aggressive and can live in the desert
climate. The male Dingo is larger than the female
Dingo. They are known to eat, lizards, birds and
even Kangaroos!

EmuEeThe Emu is the second largest bird in the world!
(The first is the Ostrich) They only live in Australia
and prefer to stay away from deserts and forests.
These birds like to stay in the country and even
though they don't swim they will if they have to cross
a river because even though they are birds they
cannot fly. Emus live in flocks or pairs and will gather
wherever they find food.

Frilled Neck LizardFfThe Frilled Neck Lizard is a really special animal
because it has a different way of protecting itself.
When it is feeling attacked, the lizard opens up a
frill on its neck and hisses at the attacker! These
lizards are only seen in Australia and in the trees
they hide in to keep away from predators.

Great White SharkGgThe Great White Shark is at the top of our
food chain! They have infinite rows of teeth.
Don't believe everything people say, these
sharks do not like to hunt people, they
hunt seals and other birds. Great White Sharks
are seen along the coasts of Australia and
have been known to surf waves like
dolpins do.

Harbor BridgeHhThe Harbor Bridge was first opened in Australia
in 1932, it contains 6 MILLION hand-driven
rivets! The Harbor Bridge is the largest steel bridge
in the world. It took 8 years to be able to finish
building it and 1400 men. Unfortunately about 16
people suffered accidents and passed away while
building it. It cost the city 44 million dollars to build
and took them 50 years to pay off all the money. But
it sits in the city of Sydney and it is a proud Australian
Symbol.

Indian PeafowlIiThe Indian Peafowl is a species of bird. The male
Peafowl is called a Peacock, and the female is called
a Peafowl. They are among the largest birds that
can fly but are not as big as the Emu. It is originally
from Southeast Asia but has been seen around
parts of Western Australia.

Jellyfish (Irukandji)JjThe Irukandji jellyfish is only found in the waters
surrounding Australia. It is the smallest and the
most dangerous jellyfish in the world. Normally
jellyfish have their stingers only on the tentacles,
but the Irukandji has stingers all over top and
tentacles. But that is not the only reason why it is
so dangerous. This jellyfish is almost not visible
because of its size and color, so there is no way to
know if you got stung until you feel the pain that
can last for days.

KoalaKkThe Koala is a very interesting animal, they are
actually from the same family as Kangaroos! even
though they resemble monkeys. The female koala
have pouches to carry their babies in just like
kagaroo females. Koalas live in trees and like to eat
the eucalyptus leaves off these trees. They are seen
mostly around the forests in Eastern Australia.

Leadbeater's PossumLlThe Leadbeater's Possum is also in the family of the
koalas, the Marsupials, but they are considered
endangered. That is, their population declines
frequently due to lack of habitat. These small bushy
tailed marsupials need their habitat not only for
a place to sleep but also place to eat. They are known
to lick sap and off trees and a liquid called, "honeydew"
off of its leaves.

MelbourneMmThe city of Melbourne, Australia is known for its
interesting tourist spots. It is the only city in the world
that has five international standard sporting facilities.
it is also known for their technological advances. It was
the first city in the world to have traffic lights! They have
many beautiful architectural bridges and buildings, like
the Eureka, that is the second tallest residential building
in the world. Melbourne is considered a beautiful place
to live and also peaceful.

NumbatNnThe Numbat is another member of the Marsupial family,
that lives in Western Australia. It is also known as the
banded anteater, its diet consists of termites! Unfortunately
the Numbat population is also being controlled by
conservation parks because they are endangered.
This is due to lack of habitat. But they are considered the
emblem of Western Australia so taking care of this species
is very important to everyone.

Sydney Opera HouseOoThe Sydney Opera House is one of the most important places
to see in Australia. The ground-breaking was in 1959, with
10,000 workers prepared to take on the big project. All the
materials to make it came from other countries, like Sweden
and France. There are 15,000 lightbulbs that have to be
changed every year, 1,000 rooms, and it can house 2 million
people at every concert. Even the queen Elizabeth has been
a guest four times at the Sydney Opera house!

PlatypusPpThe platypus is one of the most interesting animals in the
animal kingdom! It looks like a duck and an otter together
in one. And if that doesn't make the platypus weird, it is
also a venomous animal. It lays eggs like a duck and swims
like a beaver. They eat shrimp, worms and other insects.
They are found in rivers in Eastern Australia. The platypus
is now a protected animal in Australia.

QUEENSLAND
(Great Barrier Reef)QqThe Great Barrier Reef is the largest reef system in the world!
It is so big it can be seen from outer space. It is home to
some of the world's strangest sea creatures. Animals from
all over the world visit it, incluiding 30 types of dolphins,
whales, and porpoises. More than 1,500 types of fish! The
Great Barrier Reef is a natural wonder and it sits in
Queensland, Australia since over 20 million years ago.
