Australia

Yes, the echidna is native to Australia, but it is also native to New Guinea. The species in Australia is the short-beaked echidna and the species native to New Guinea is the long-beaked echidna. These are the only two countries in which the echidna is found.

They speard them with spears or knocked them over or tripped or made them fall out of the sky with boomerangs.
they speered animals and then ate them

Wombats graze, sleep and reproduce. That is what they spend their time doing.

Cats, dogs and foxes all cause problems by preying on native wildlife. Many species of wildlife, which have been protected by the absence of major predators for thousands of years, do not have sufficient defence mechanisms to protect themselves against cats, dogs and foxes. Rabbits have caused a major problem since their introduction in 1860, as they eat the native vegetation on which so many Australian species rely, and they breed much faster than any of the marsupials do. Feral pigs also eat the vegetation and will attack other creatures. Cane toads are an ever-increasing problem. Not only do cane toads prey on small mammals and reptiles, but animals which may happen to prey to them are then poisoned by the toad's glands.

Australians use kangaroos instead of reindeer at Christmas.

The Cairns Birdwing Butterfly (Ornithoptea euphorion) is Australia's largest butterfly. Females can have a wingspan of 14-16 cm, with some specimens being reported as having a wingspan of 20cm. The Cairns Birdwing Butterfly is found only in rainforests of north Queensland, between Mackay and Cooktown.

They move about 1/2 mile/hour

Leadbeater's possums don't glide, but they can leap from tree to tree in search of food. Like all possums, including those in the glider family, they climb trees using their sharp claws, and walk along branches.

What animals? There are lots of animals that have 17 species... Is this for MuM???

No, in the weasel family, they are solitary animals

The waratah, the state floral emblem of New South Wales, is found in a limited area of NSW. It lives through the central coast region, from Ulladulla in the south, north through the Sydney Basin to the Hunter River catchment.

There are many wallabies still alive. certain varieties suchas the swamp wallabies in Australia are very common, found even in urban fringes. Having been introduced to some countries overseas, they also seem to enjoy a rather healthy population outside of Australia.

Rock wallabies have more endangered species than the swamp wallabies, as they are smaller and seem to be more vulnerable to predation by both native and introduced species.

There is no bird similar to an ostrich in Australia. The tallest bird is the emu and, although it is a ratite (one of a particular group of flightless birds) like the ostrich, it is very different in appearance and behaviour.

Life in Outback Australia can be very fun sometimes but it can get very hot and humid. In other times you could also faint or even die from dehydration.

These cats came from the ships that brought the people to Australia, they were on the ships to combat the rat population, once on shore they were left to fend for themselves.

There is evidence to suggest that domestic cats arrived in Australia long before the First Fleet. It would appear that the Macassan traders who sought trepang (sea slugs) off Australia's northern coast some 500 years before the First Fleet had ships' cats, some of which stayed behind in Australia when the ships moved on. Naturally, these cats turned feral once they had to fend for themselves, and with no natural predators in Australia, their population proliferated rather well.

Often wombats do not survive if they are under attack, and this is why the Northern Hairy nosed wombat is endangered. Wombats in the immediate vicinity of their burrows stand a better chance of surviving an attack. Their burrow is only the size of their own body. They can then turn their heavy body and present only their back end, which is reinforced with extra thick skin and fur, to a would-be attacker. They have no tail for a predator to grasp onto. If an attacker is somehow able to climb over the top of the wombat while in its burrow, the marsupial has incredibly strong forelegs, with which it will push against the roof of its burrow, crushing the enemy.

Wild horses are called different things all over the world. In America they are sometimes called mustangs. In Australia they are called a brumby. Another name is cayuse.

Baby platypuses feed on mothers' milk, but the mother does not have teats. Instead, she secretes her milk through glands on her underside, and the young platypus feeds on that.

Wombats are nocturnal, meaning they sleep during the day and are active at night.

Over the years, animal kind has evolved. First, organisms started as a mere mass of cells in a body of water. There were no crocodiles, humans, fish, or any other type of animal thriving on Earth. Over time, though, certain organisms began to form. The water organisms formed the very first, because the masses of cells originally started in water. Examples of these are paramecium and microscopic protists. Centuries and centuries could go by until another living species came to be. As the cell masses began to grow and expand, more complicated organisms began to come; such as different kinds of fish, sharks, and whales. Soon, the cells started to adapt to life on land. Organisms could now leave the water for certain periods of time, like frogs, ducks, and crocodiles. More and more centuries and decades would pass. But eventually, animals' cells were able to adapt to full life on land, no water needed to stay moist. Of course, things still needed to drink water, though; it's the essential nutrient for life. Anyway, at one point in time, animals that were adjusting to life on land probably did have webbed feet. Humans, on the other hand, are way too far down the line to have them. Humans are the most evolved organism on Earth. Dogs, bears, birds, cats, giraffes, elephants, lions, tigers, monkeys, gorillas, and the list could go on forever. All of these organisms are between the development of ducks and humans; therefore, it would be impossible for humans to have webbed feet. If humans formed directly before or after ducks or anywhere even close to them, there would be a large chance of humans having webbed feet. But because of the long list of organisms, and the order in which they formed, it would be next to impossible for humans to have the characteristics of ducks.

In addition to that, humans don't need them. If humans had come to be in an environment in which they had swim constantly or stay afloat in water, there would also be a higher chance that we would have webbed feet, or even flippers or scales. For our cells would, over time, adjust to this environment. But again, the sequence in which we formed makes these things unnecessary and improbable. We don't need to swim in water to live, why would we need webbed feet?
