Why did Australian animals develop differently from other animals?

Australia and New Zealand have been geographically isolated for a very long time. When they broke away from the rest of the continents, the gene pool of the animals and plants in Australia and New Zealand were isolated from the organisms of the mainland. Therefore, these creatures evolved down a different path. Changes in the gene pools in Australia had no effect on the organisms on the mainland and vice versa, so the changes in Australia were completely different.

∙ 14y agoThe animals that live in Australia have bodies made to live with the weather in Australia and the whole environment... each and every animal has its own unique body and personality.
It's called adapting; each animal as a special way to cope with Australia's harsh weather and potential predators.
Additionally, while there are harsh environments in Australia, the popular perception of the land being one large desert is incorrect. Australia has many different diverse environments, just like on any other continent.
