Characteristics of Life Activity---Kangaroo
Kangaroos are the multicellular animals and they are complex one because they are mammals. As we all know they are the only large animals to use hopping as a means of locomotion and they also hop really fast.

They are also adept swimmers ,and often flee into waterways if threatened by a predator.

Because of the different area to adapt the environment ,there are four kinds of kangaroos. The first one is the red kangaroo which is the largest surviving marsupial anywhere in the world. A large male can be 2 meters (6 ft 7 in) tall and weigh 90 kg (200 lb). The second one is eastern grey kangaroo which is the most common one .The last two kinds of kangaroos are The western grey kangaroo and The antilopine kangaroo.
For eating kangaroos are autotroph and they have chambered stomachs similar to those of cattle and sheep They regurgitate the vegetation they have eaten, chew it as cud , and then swallow it again for final digestion.

It is one of 22 extant species form the subfamily Cephalophinae. While the red forest duiker is very similar to the common duiker, it is smaller in size and has a distinguishing reddish coloring.

The M.fasciatus has pale fur on the underbelly and coarse reddish-brown fur above on the back which is darkest on the rump refer to figure 1 (Sydenham, 2012). There are four to eleven noticeable white stripes across the back between the shoulders and tail (|The Western Australian Education, 2013). The reason for the stripes is that it projects as an effective camouflage allowing the M. Fasciatus to blend into its surroundings whenever it is needed. M.fasciatus has a long bushy tail that has a characteristic ‘bottle-brush’ appearance (Australian wildlife society, 2013). M. Fasciatus weighs about 400-700g and has a body length of 20-27cm. (Government of Western Australia, 2012). M. Fasciatus has a life expediency of two to three years but can be as much as five years. M. Fasciatus is strictly diurnal which means it is only active during the day; this characteristic is what sets it apart from most Australian marsupials that are predominantly nocturnal in nature. M. Fasciatus is the only member of the family Myrmecobiidae, one of the three families belonging to the order Dasyuromorphia. M.fasciatus classification in its own family means that…

    Cameleers In Australia

    • 6 Pages

    Introduction: It is easy to say that the Afghan Cameleers were a triumph for Australian trade, rural supply and exploration. Afghani people first came to Australia during the 1860s. These people were known as “cameleers”. They travelled to Australia with “travelling papers” which they obtained while working in British India. The Afghan Cameleers operated in most areas of transportation, mining and the supply of required items to farms, communities and towns. A small amount of these settled in Victoria in 1901, while others settled along the Port of South Australia. The aim throughout this essay is to argue that the Afghan Cameleers were a triumph for Australian trade, rural supple and exploration.…

    I truly believe that all year 7 students should study Indigenous literature as it represents the original people and owners of this thriving multicultural land. The Dreamtime is the Aboriginal understanding of the world, of it's creation, and it's marvelous stories. The Dreamtime is the beginning of knowledge, from which came the laws of existence. Dreamtime stories always have morals behind them, and example would be, “Mirram the Kangaroo and Warreen the Wombat”. Warreen would not let Mirram into his gunya even though it was raining and he was dripping wet. This is an act of selfishness, something we definitely don't want to be. Another great example would be “Bildurag the Platypus”. This story teaches us to not discriminate by the way of…

    Secondly, I think Kangaroos shouldn’t be a part of our Australian diet because they are an Australian icon. As a native animal to Australia they represent our country. They are also a unique marsupial that is not native to any other countries and are perfectly adapted to Australia. Kangaroos, along with the other native animals also attract tourists to visit Australia. Kangaroo’s not only represent Australia by being a part of the Coat Of Arms but they also represent companies such as Qantas.…

    Did you know that foxes are solitary hunters? Unlike animals such as wolves, they hunt alone rather than in packs. There are seven characteristics of life that apply to all living things, but they may not be applied in the same way. For example, fennec foxes have fur on their feet to help them move around in the sandy Sahara. The characteristics of life can be applied to all living things, even small animals such as the fennec fox.…
