Australian Nature
Australian nature is extremely diverse
and interesting, with a number of unique animals living
in Australia.
The wildlife in Australia has evolved in isolation
and so has a unique and individual appearance. This also
means that the animals have adapted well to the varying
and often harsh climatic differences around Australia.
Around 55 million years ago Australia
belonged to Gondwana (named by Eduard Suess), which was a landmass made up of a number
of "todays" countries including most contained within the "Southern Hemisphere" and a few that have moved to the "Northern Hemisphere".
|
It was almost completely covered in rainforest,
although much of this dried out as Australia moved towards
the warmer climate.
Within the Australian Animals, Australian Birds, Australian Flora
and Australian Sealife sections you can find out about a selection
of Australias wildlife and natural environment.
