Australia is often called the country of “living fossils.” On the one hand, there are many ancient and primitive animals that disappeared on other continents. On the other hand, only very few animals were able to penetrate here due to the isolation of this area. As a result, nine tenth species are endemic for Australia, that is, they are no longer found anywhere. Indeed, where else can you see a bizarre kangaroo, a ridiculous platypus, a sessile, a “plush” teddy bear with a cub on the back, magnificent paradise of birds and ostriches of emu? Among the reptiles of Australia there is a raincoat lizard resembling a small dragon and capable of quickly running on his hind legs. And in the rivers of the southern part of the continent, a double -legged fish with one light – Rogozub lives. Professor Berngard Grmykuk in this book tells about the amazing and peculiar animal world of Australia with extraordinary skill and love.
