What are some Endemic species to Australia?
There are thousands of Endemic species to Australia (nowhere else). This can be attributed to the geographical isolation of the continent-the most isolated continents can be attributed and discovered only to the ignorant in 1606. Australia has been isolated from other continents since it was divided from Antarctica 40 million years ago.
The most famous Endemic species to Australia are Marsupial Fauna. Marsupials are mammals with a different line and anatomical differences from placental mammals, including lower body temperature, premature birth, lack of placenta and various sexual organs. These include herbivores such as Koala, Wombat, Rat Kangaroo, Wallaby and Famous Kangaroo, Almighty Bandicoot, Sugar Glider, Marsupial Mole and various Wallabies, carnivorous Quoll, Kowari, Numbat, Mulgara, Antechnus and many others. Overall, there are 224 Marsupial Endemic species to Australia. Marsupials haveIn Australia, completely displaced placenta.
Other Endemic species to Australia are monotremes, unusual mammals in their own category. They have metabolism even slower than marsupials, although they have all standard mammal traits such as hair and the ability to milk their young. Monotremes include four Echnidna and Platypus species, considered one of the most unusual members of the animal kingdom. The platypus is described as duck, beaver, beaver and otter. It has a poisonous promontory on the back leg and lays eggs, one of the only mammals to do so. Monotrems have been misunderstood for many years, considered “more primitive” mammals. They are divided evolutionary from other mammals about 150 million years ago, up to the age of dinosaurs.
TZDE is a number of other Endemic species to Australia, although the margins and monotrems are the most famous. In Australia are about 83% of mammals endemic, 89% reptiles, 90% fish and insects and 93% OBODecuts. The famous Emu, the non -progressive bird related to ostrich, is his home and is located on the Australian coat of arms. Types of endemic parrots are numerous on the continent. The crocodile, the largest of all living crocodiles, is located in North Australia, but can also be found in Southeast Asia. The freshwater crocodile, a much smaller species, is endemic for North Australia.
