Animals and plants. Sixty million years ago Australia and its nearby islands were separated from the other world by a great upheaval. They were cut off from Asia by the ocean. Almost no animals visited Australia before English colonists began to settle there. Now a strange thing happened when the ocean blocked off this island continent. The ancestors of cats and tigers, of dogs and wolves, of elephant and sheep just were not there. As a result, the reptile like mammals that have died out everywhere else in the world are very much alive in Australia. Australia is, in fact, a continent-sized museum of ancient animals, modernized along certain lines by their own separate evolution. Two of the strangest animals in the world the spiny anteater and the platypus, only live in Australia. They are reptile-mammals. Another group of Australian mammals are the marsupials. These are the kangaroo and the wombat, for example. They do not lay eggs,
......... About 80-100 million years ago, New Zealand drifted away from the massive supercontinent of Gondwanaland into the South Pacific. Since then, a unique flora and fauna has evolved, with a large number of beautiful native birds and plants, as well as direct descendants of prehistoric wildlife, including the tuatara, weta (the world's heaviest insect), and giant snail. As Time magazine said, New Zealand is an "ultimate storehouse for discontinued zoological models". A reptile with links to the dinosaur, the native tuatara is found mainly on islands around New Zealand's coast. Every species of this reptile family, except the tuatara, died out around 65 million years ago. Tuatara can live for over 100 years, and were once found throughout New Zealand. Now only around 30,000 are found on protected offshore islands. They are about 60 cm long and have a third "eye" on the top of heir heads; tuataras sleep
It is interesting that Uluru changes colour as the different light strikes it at different times of the day and year.Uluru produce an incredible light show at sunset ,with crimsons turning to rusts and pinks to mauves.Uluru has also many springs, waterholes,rock caves and ancient paintings. Fauna and flora Historically, 46 species of native mammals are known to have been living in the Uluru region; according to recent surveys there are currently 21. The park has a very rich reptile fauna,about 73 species have been recorded. Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park flora represents a large portion of plants found in Central Australia. There are several rare and endangered species in the park. Trees such as the Mulga and Cenralian Bloodwood are used to make tools such as spearheads, boomerangs and bowls. The red sap of the bloodwood is used as a disinfectant and an inhalant for coughs and colds. Climate and seasons The park receives an average rainfall of 307
The flora of the Mediterranean Basin is dramatic. Its 22,500 endemic vascular plant species are more than four times the number found in all the rest of Europe; the hotspot also supports many endemic reptile species. As Europe's vacation destination, populations of threatened species are increasingly fragmented and isolated to make way for resort development and infrastructure. The Mediterranean monk-seal, the barbary macaque and the

Click to edit Master text styles Second level Third level Fourth level Fifth level There are very many species in the States. There are about 17 000 types of trees (larger plants) in the mainland and Alaska. Over 1,800 species of flowering plants are found in Hawaii. The United States is home to more than 400 mammal, 750 bird, and 500 reptile species. About 91,000 insect species have been described. In America, there are very many parks, which 58 are national parks and there are hundreds of federally managed parks, forests and wilderness areas. The first national park in the world was Yellowstone national park in Wyoming. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iaSlZE-Wxs&feature=related Many species became extinct soon after the first settlements. The U.S. climate is temperate in most areas, tropical in Hawaii and
whereas others, like the Irish hare, red deer and pine marten are less so. Aquatic wildlife such as species of turtle, shark, whale, dolphin, and others are common off the coast. About 400 species of birds have been recorded in Ireland. Many of these are migratory, including the swallow. Most of Ireland's bird species come from Iceland, Greenland, Africa among other territories. There are no snakes in Ireland and only one reptile (the common lizard) is native to the country. Extinct species include the great Irish elk, the wolf, the great auk, and others. Some previously extinct birds such as the golden eagle have recently been reintroduced after decades of extirpation. History **** A long cold climatic spell prevailed until about 9,000 years ago, and most of Ireland was covered with ice. This era was known as the Ice Age. Population
Australia many, many years ago, are destroying the gentler marsupials. There is only one marsupial still alive in the USA today- the opossum. But there are also very strange kind of animals, they have hair, like dogs and cats but they also lay eggs- these are the spiny anteater and the platypus. They are only found in Australia and nowhere else in the world and they are called reptile-mammals. Economy The Australian economy is dominated by its services sector, yet it is the agricultural and mining sectors that account for 65% of its exports. Rich in natural resources, Australia is a major exporter of agricultural products, particularly grains and wool, and minerals, including various metals, coal, and natural gas. Agriculture Agriculture in Australia is a major industry
Many of these species are migratory. There are arctic birds, which come in the winter, and birds such as the swallow, which come from Africa in the summer to breed. Ireland has a very rich marine avifauna, with many large seabird colonies dotted around its coastline such as those on the Saltee Islands and Skellig Michael. Also of note are golden eagles, only recently reintroduced after decades of extinction. There are no snakes and only one reptile native to Ireland, the common lizard. There are three amphibians, the common frog, the smooth newt and the natterjack toad. Certain marine turtle species appear regularly off the south west coast but do not come ashore. Flags of Ireland The state flag applying to Northern Ireland is the Union Flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The state flag of the Republic of Ireland is the Tricolour.

There are about 17 000 types of trees (larger plants) in the mainland and Alaska. Over 1,800 species of flowering plants are found in Hawaii. The United States is home to more than 400 mammal, 750 bird, and 500 reptile species. About 91,000 insect species have been described. In America, there are very many parks, which 58 are national parks and there are hundreds of federally managed parks, forests and wilderness areas. The first national park in the world was Yellowstone national park in Wyoming. The flora is so diverse in America because of the different climates and good weather in some places (like California). Many species became extinct soon after the first settlements. The U.S
also many rivers for example the longest river is Mississippi which is one of the longest rivers in the world. There are really big mountain ranges like the Rocky Mountains. Also there are several deserts like Arizona desert. In USA the climate is really multifarious. It includes most of the climate types, like in one point in America there can be more than 30 degrees warm and in other point there can be -20 degrees. The United States is home to more than 400 mammal, 750 bird, and 500 reptile and amphibian species. About 91,000 insect species have been described.

millennia ago. Oak and maple grows in nature only in the southern part of Finland. The Archipelago Sea, between the Gulf of Bothnia and the Gulf of Finland, is the largest archipelago in the world by number of islands; estimates vary between 20,000 and 50,000. Similarly, Finland has a diverse and extensive range of fauna. There are at least sixty native mammalian species, 248 breeding bird species, over seventy fish species and eleven reptile and frog species present today, many migrating from neighbouring countries thousands of years ago. Large and widely recognised wildlife mammals found in Finland are the Brown Bear (the national animal), Gray Wolf, elk and reindeer. Other common mammals include the Red Fox, Red Squirrel, and Mountain Hare. Some rare and exotic species include the flying squirrel, Saimaa Ringed Seal and the Arctic fox, which is considered the most endangered.
The eucalypts are found all over Australia. There are more than 500 varieties of gum trees in Australia. Australia is the home of some 600 species of acacia. These trees develop smaller, leathery leaves to avoid loss of water. Australia has over 155 million hectares of native forest, about 80 per cent of which are eucalypt. Animal life Australia is a continent sized museum of ancient animals. Anteater and platypus are the two of the strangest animals in the world. They are really reptile mammals. They have hair like cats and dogs, but they lay shelled eggs like snakes and turtles. And they are found only in Australia. Another group of Australian mammals, the marsupials, are less like reptiles than the anteater and the platypus, but they are not highly developed mammals either. The kangaroo and the wombat are marsupials. Their young are born before they are fully developed. The kangaroo is born after being only seven weeks inside it's mother
The most diverse group are the snakes and lizards. The snakes and lizards are especially diverse in the arid areas of Australia, where diversity of other fauna is generally low. Spinifex grass is a major habitat which allows them to remain in a relatively cool, moist area. Australia has a large array of reptiles which can be dangerous to humans. All of the top ten most venomous snakes are native to Australia, [2] and the world's largest reptile, the Saltwater Crocodile is native to Australia. It is often said to be the most dangerous to humans. This crocodile is an opportunistic predator capable of taking animals up to the size of a water buffalo, either in the water or on dry land. The larger the animal grows, the greater the variety of items that it includes in the diet. Saltwater crocodiles can take monkeys, wild boar, dingoes, domestic livestock, water buffalo, sharks and sometimes humans.
