Презентация, доклад по английскому языку на тему Животное Австралии

is a symbol of Australia, and even on a coin there is its image. And this is not in vain.

a beautiful, secretive and shy creature. I call it the joke of God. At first glance, it seems that it is assembled from parts belonging to different animals. On the shaggy head an absurd mask is planted a leathery beak, similar to a duck. The extremities, like those of reptiles, are widely spaced on each side, and floats like a beaver, with the help of a massive tail.

Like birds, he lays eggs, he walks like reptiles, that is, his legs are located on the sides of the trunk, but at the same time, the platypus feeds its children with milk.
Scientists for a long time could not think up to whom this more interesting representative of fauna belongs.
But, since the cubs are fed with milk, they decided that the platypus is a mammal.

the tail (up to 15 cm), the weight does not exceed 2 kg. In this case, the female is much smaller. The body and tail are covered with thick but soft fur, although with age, fur on the tail is much thinner
Of course, the special note of the beast is his nose. It is rather not a nose, but a beak, although from a bird it is very different.
The beak of the platypus is very interesting - it's not a rigid organ, but some two arcuate bones covered with skin. Young males have even teeth, but only with time they wear off.
For swimming, nature has seriously prepared this animal. The platypus has ears, but no ear shells.
