Слайд 2Australia has an extraordinary collection of birds and animals. Many of
them are found only there. Early explorers were so surprised by the emu and the kangaroo that they described the continent as the land where birds “ran instead of flying and animals hopped instead of running.”
Слайд 3 A well-known Australia’s animal is the koala that looks like
as a teddy bear. Koala is very lazy animal, it sleeps about 20 hours a day, eats Eucalyptus tree leaves, which are toxic to the most animals.
Слайд 4The kangaroo is perhaps the best known of Australia’s animals. There
are more than 40 different kinds of kangaroos in Australia, in many different colours and sizes.
Слайд 5The big red kangaroo and the grey kangaroo may be as
tall as a grown-up man. Some kangaroos are about the size of a large dog. The smallest kangaroo is the rat kangaroo.
Слайд 6Among other animals found in Australia is the dingo, a wild
dog which is yellowish brown and has a bushy tail.
Слайд 7There are a number of types of crocodiles found in northern
Australia from the potentially dangerous saltwater crocodiles to smaller, more shy, harmless kinds.
Слайд 8Australia is the home of two of the world’s most primitive
mammals-the duckbill and the echidna. They are the only mammals that lay eggs.
Слайд 9Wombats have short legs, about one metre long and have a
very short tail. Wombats are covered with short coat.
Basically, wombat looks a little bit like a smaller pig.
Слайд 10Birds’ Kingdom
There are about 70 kinds of birds in the world.
Some birds can fly to far countries, others are flightless, besides, some of them are nocturnal. Famous Australia birds include the Swans, Kiwi, Emu, Lyrebirds, White cockatoo.
Слайд 11Swans are a protected species in Australia. They make their nests
on a dry bit of a small island, or on a river bank. They lay about five eggs which are greenish white in colour, usually in autumn (March-April) or in winter.
Слайд 12The kiwi is an amazing flightless bird. It is about the
size of a chicken, has thick leather skin, a great sense of smell, a long beak with nostrils on the end, and hair-like feathers. It is more like a mammal - however it is still a bird.
Слайд 13The emu, Australia’s largest bird is also one of the largest
in the world. It cannot fly but is a good runner.
Слайд 14
Australian lyrebirds are very graceful birds. The Lyrebirds name comes from
the shape of the males tail when displayed which looks like a Lyre.
Really the Lyrebird is a very plain brown (chicken size) bird. They are magnificent mimicker of other birds and noises.
Слайд 15The White Cockatoo has a weight of around six hundred grams.
The Cockatoo can live up to 80 years. White Cockatoo are very sociable and a lot of people love them as pets.
