8. IN AUSTRALIA

10. • live in woodlands and open forests
• not particularly selective feeders
– main diets: various insects and other invertebrates
– another diets: snakes, lizards, rodents and the odd
small bird
• form permanent pairs and take so long to rear their young to independence
that more than one clutch a season is unlikely
• most young stay to help parents defend the boundaries and rear/protect
further offspring.
• nesting season starts in September and finishes in January
• Incubation and feeding of young is carried out by all members of the group

13. Platypus

14. Description
 The body and the broad, flat tail of the platypus are covered with dense, brown fur that
traps a layer of insulating air to keep the animal warm.
 The fur is waterproof, and the texture is akin to that of a mole. The platypus uses its tail for
storage of fat reserves (an adaptation also found in animals such as the Tasmanian devil and
fat-tailed sheep).
 It has webbed feet and a large, rubbery snout; these features appear closer to those of a
duck than to those of any known mammal. The webbing is more significant on the front feet
and is folded back when walking on land.
 Unlike a bird's beak (in which the upper and lower parts separate to reveal the mouth), the
snout of the platypus is a sensory organ with the mouth on the underside.
 The nostrils are located on the dorsal surface of the snout, while the eyes and ears are
located in a groove set just back from it; this groove is closed when swimming.
 Platypuses have been heard to emit a low growl when disturbed and a range of other
vocalizations have been reported in captive specimens.

THE RED CRAB

19. Description
• They are well known for their annual mass migration to the sea
to lay their eggs in the ocean.
• They are large in size, the male crabs are generally larger than
the females.
• Bright red is their most common colour, but some can be
orange or the much rarer purple.

20. Behavior
• red crabs use gills to breathe
• red crabs are almost completely inactive at night
• Red crabs also dig burrows to shelter themselves from the sun

21. Migrationand breeding
• Around October to November they will migrate to the coast for
breeding.
• Male will migrate first and wait for the female at the coast.
• After mating, female will stay in the burrows for two weeks for
incubation purpose.

22. • Then the eggs will be lay in the ocean.
• In 3 to 4 weeks the young crabs will return to the forest by
their own.

28. Chameleons or chamaeleons
(family Chamaeleonidae)

29.  These species come in a range of colours, and many species
have the ability to change colours.
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sklhlkNFcY

30.  Chameleons are distinguished by their feet; their very long,
highly modified, rapidly extrudable tongues; their swaying
gait; and crests or horns on their distinctively shaped heads.

31.  Chameleons' eyes are independently mobile, but in aiming at
a prey item, they focus forward in coordination, affording the
animal stereoscopic vision.

32.  They are found in warm habitats that range from rain forest
to desert conditions, various species occurring in
Africa, Madagascar, southern Europe, and across southern
Asia as far as Sri Lanka.
