袋鼠是一类有袋类动物,属于袋鼠科(Macropodidae),“袋鼠”一词通常用来指袋鼠科中体型最大的几个物种。

一般而言,大型袋鼠面对人类在澳大利亚的开发有较高的适应力;相较之下,他们的许多小型亲戚则面临了较大的生存威胁,数量也较少。目前并没有大规模的袋鼠养殖业,不过野生的袋鼠会被猎杀并制成食用肉品,而此种产业也具有争议性[2]。

袋鼠是澳大利亚的象征物,出现在澳大利亚国徽中[3],以及一些澳大利亚货币图案上[4]。许多澳大利亚的组织团体,如澳大利亚航空[5],也将袋鼠作为其标志。

Sam the Koala Bear was caught in the horrible wildfires going on in Australia. She gets a drink and a rescue from a wonderful firefighter in this video! Glad to report Sam is recovering well, and has a new BFF Koala named Bob at the wildlife rescue center. Sam suffered second degree burns to her paws and will take seven to eight months to recover, while Bob has three burned paws with third degree burns and should be well enough to return to the bush in about four months.

“They keep putting their arms around each other and giving each other hugs. They really have made friends and it is quite beautiful to see after all this. It’s been horrific.” Kudos to the firefighters in Australia, and may God protect you all!

Rare Bears
The giant panda is a medium-sized black-and-white bear that lives only in the mountainous temperate forests of southwest China. Giant pandas eat a diet of bamboo. The giant panda is one of the most endangered animals on Earth. Only about 1,600 of these rare bears are left. This number includes more than 160 pandas living in zoos and breeding centers around the world, mostly in China.

Creatures of the Forest
Giant pandas live in a few isolated mountain ranges in the provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu in south-central China. They live in broadleaf and coniferous forests with a dense understory of bamboo, at elevations between 1,500 m and 3,000 m. Torrential rains, dense mists, and heavy cloud cover characterize these forests throughout much of the year. The giant panda has lived in bamboo forests for several million years. It is a highly specialized animal, with unique adaptations.

Bamboo for Every Meal
Bamboo is the giant panda's favorite food. Adult giant pandas will spend 10 to 16 hours a day finding and eating bamboo. They eat different parts of the plant depending on the time of year. In the summer and autumn, pandas munch mostly on leaves. Winter means a diet of tough stems. Spring provides tender, young bamboo shoots.

A giant panda’s digestive system is more similar to that of a carnivore than an herbivore. Because bamboo does not provide much nutrition, a panda needs to eat a large amount of food. It may eat up to 20 kg of bamboo each day to get all the nutrients it needs.

Panda Parts
Giant pandas stand 1 m tall at the shoulder (on all four legs) and are 1.5 m long. Males are larger than females, weighing up to 115 kg in the wild. Females rarely reach 100 kg.

Giant pandas have a very specialized anatomy linking them to bamboo for survival. Their front paws are specially designed to allow them to hold bamboo stalks. Giant pandas appear to have thumbs. But these "thumbs" are really extensions of the wrist bone. To hold a piece of bamboo, a panda wraps its fingers around one side of the stalk. Then it holds it in place by pushing the wrist bone, or pseudo-thumb, forward.

Giving Birth in the Wild

Female giant pandas can become pregnant only once a year in the spring. Barking calls and scents draw males and females to each other. Females give birth between 95 and 160 days after mating. Females may give birth to two young pandas, but usually only one survives.

Pink Pandas?
The bodies of newborn giant panda cubs are completely pink with a sparse covering of white hair. Giant pandas are not giants when they are born. Their eyes are closed, like a kitten, and they weigh only 120-175 g. They are around 15 cm long - about the size of a hotdog!


Giant pandas are tiny and helpless when they are born. Notice the tail. Adult pandas also have a tail, but it is smaller compared to its body size.

©K.Feng/GLOBIO.org
After one week, dark patches begin to appear near the eyes and ears. Then the skin on their legs and backs begins to darken. Soon, black hair will grow in these areas and white hair everywhere else. Baby pandas’ eyes open when they are about one month old. They begin to crawl when they are three to four months old.

Mother Knows Best
Giant pandas are cubs until they are about two years old. Like all bears, they start to explore the world outside the den once they are strong enough to follow their mother’s lead. Giant panda mothers spend most of the time looking for bamboo shoots, stems, and tender leaves.

Young giant pandas use this time to learn about the forest and to climb trees. Cubs love to climb, and they quickly become very skilled. They have sharp, strong claws on both their front and back feet. Cubs may stay with their mothers for up to three years before striking out on their own.

Life Out in the Wild
An adult giant panda spends much of its day resting, seeking food, and eating. Unlike other bears from temperate climates, giant pandas do not hibernate. Until recently, scientists thought giant pandas spent most of their lives alone. They believed that males and females met only during the breeding season.

Recent studies paint a different picture. Small groups of giant pandas share a large territory and sometimes meet outside the breeding season. Much remains to be learned about the secret lives of these animals. Every new discovery helps scientists in their battle to save this species.

Giving Birth in Captivity
Giant pandas are also born in captivity. Captive breeding centers were started because giant pandas are so endangered. The giant pandas’ naturally slow breeding rate prevents a population from recovering quickly from illegal hunting, habitat loss, and other human-related causes of death. The captive breeding centers provide a protected place for giant pandas to breed and for baby pandas to grow up. One of the most famous centers for breeding baby pandas is the Wolong Nature Reserve.

What to do with Twins
When pandas are born in captivity, they often have twins. Panda mothers will only care for one baby at a time. This means the keepers at the breeding center have to help care for the babies and keep them healthy. They feed the babies milk and keep them warm in incubators. The mother panda still gets to take care of both babies, but she cares for them one at a time.

Growing Up in Captivity
In captivity, young giant pandas remain together and have a chance to play. In the wild, it would be very rare for a young giant panda to meet another cub. This is because mother pandas live alone rather than in groups with other pandas. When panda cubs play, they appear to have lots of fun. But they are also learning important skills. For example, researchers hide snacks in hanging plastic tubes to teach the cubs how to search for food.

Branching Out From Bamboo
Giant pandas are now becoming easier to raise in captivity. This is because their keepers have discovered what foods to feed them. Cubs get a bowl of special milk for breakfast and lunch until they are about two years old. The milk is made by boiling rice and adding vitamins. Between the age of seven and nine months, panda cubs begin to snack on tender bamboo shoots. Other foods captive giant pandas eat include sugar cane, carrots, apples, and sweet potatoes. They also eat “panda bread” made from a mixture of ground bamboo, grains, and assorted vitamins and minerals.


Giant panda cubs in captivity are given a special milk porridge twice a day. Their keepers make sure they are getting plenty to eat and that they are growing well.

Living Up to Their Name
Giant panda cubs grow quickly. Every few days, the staff at the breeding center must weigh them to check on their development. That includes lifting them onto a scale. This isn’t an easy job when the panda weighs almost as much as you do! No wonder they’re called giant pandas!

Pandas and People
In China, people and giant pandas have been living together for thousands of years. But China’s human population has been steadily growing. It is now the largest in the world. More people means more land is needed for farming. It also means more forests are cut for wood to build and heat houses. Loss of habitat in lowland areas has forced pandas to live only in the mountains.

Habitat Loss
The most damaging result of development has been that it has divided the panda’s habitat into little islands of forest. Today, many pandas are isolated in these small sections of forest, because they will cross into areas where humans live. The result is that the giant pandas cannot connect with one another to mate and have babies.

Make Room for Pandas
People are trying to help the giant panda survive by creating protected areas and breeding centers. China has 37 official areas for protecting the giant panda. All of these areas are in mountainous southwestern China. The Wolong Nature Reserve is one of the most famous.

The Role of the Wolong Nature Reserve

The protected temperate forest of Wolong Nature Reserve is a critical habitat for the survival of the endangered giant panda.

©G.Ellis/GLOBIO.orgWolong is famous for its giant panda breeding center called the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. Wolong's temperate forest is an extraordinary and beautiful place full of other rare mammals including the red panda, beautiful birds, insects, and plants found nowhere else in the world. The giant panda is an umbrella species. Protecting the panda protects the habitat for many other wild plants and animals that are critical to the biodiversity of the forest.

Koala Not a Dwarf of Prehistoric Versions Dani Cooper, ABC Science Online

Koala Not a Dwarf of Prehistoric Versions

Dani Cooper, ABC Science Online

Dec. 16, 2008 -- Australia's iconic koala is not a dwarf and the finding has major implications for theories on what happened to the continent's prehistoric megafauna, a Queensland palaeontologist said.

Gilbert Price, of the University of Queensland's Center for Microscopy and Microanalysis, said there has been a long-held view that modern koalas were a dwarf version of the giant prehistoric koala that lived between 30,000 and 700,000 years ago.

However, in a paper published in Quaternary Science Reviews, Price said modern koalas are a separate species that at times coexisted with the Late Pleistocene giant Phascolarctos stirtoni, which weighed between 20 and 30 kilograms.

Gilbert used improved dating techniques to analyze fossils and found that between 300,000 and 500,000 years ago the two koalas were both living in Australian trees.

"It's fascinating that up until fairly recently in geological terms we did have two types of koalas kicking around," said Gilbert. "The fossil records do suggest that they lived in the same place at the same time [perhaps] there is something about their sizes that allowed them to fill a slightly different ecological niche.

"The big question is why one koala species survived past 50,000 years ago and the other didn't make it."

Gilbert said understanding this may help prevent the modern-day koala from becoming extinct. However he said a lack of well-dated fossil records makes it difficult to determine the true ancestor of the modern koala.

He said his finding also suggests that the debate about why Australia's megafauna became extinct need to be revisited.

"My work shows we've got to sort out this dwarfing hypothesis first," he said.

The "dwarfing hypothesis" was originally developed to explain the body-size relationship between extinct Pleistocene mammalian megafauna and smaller-sized, similar-looking, modern-day animals, said Gilbert.

It has been applied to other present-day Australian mammals including the grey kangaroo, Tasmanian devil and the koala. Gilbert said the dwarfing phenomena has been used to support opposing megafauna extinction theories.

Koala at Risk for Extinction, Group Says Julie Shingleton, AFP

Koala at Risk for Extinction, Group Says

Thinning Population | Discovery News Video Dec. 11, 2008 -- Australia's iconic koala will become extinct in some areas of the country if the federal government does not take urgent action, conservationists have warned.

A group of Australian scientists will meet with government officials in Canberra on Friday in a bid to hammer out a national koala conservation strategy to keep key populations of the animals from dying out.

Less than 100,000 koalas are left in the country, compared to millions before they were heavily hunted for fur in the 1920s, said Deborah Tabart from the Australian Koala Foundation.

"The population of koalas in southeast Queensland has decreased from 10,000 to less than 4,000 in a decade," Tabart said.

The population in the southeast Queensland area known as the Koala Coast has fallen by at least 26 percent to 4,611 animals since a 1996-1999 survey as development encroached on their natural habitats, she said.

"We know that there are even less now, in the order of 3,800," Tabart said.

Kat Miller of the World Wildlife Fund also warned that koalas could be on their way to extinction along with several other Australian species.

"There are more than 1,700 federally-listed threatened populations of animals in Australia. There is an extinction crisis in Australia. The koala may well be the next one to go downhill."

The Australian Koala Foundation is urging Environment Minister Peter Garrett to declare the southeast Queensland koala population as critically endangered under law in a bid to protect their habitats from further developments.

"This is the most important thing Minister Garrett and his department can do right now to show he is serious about saving the koala," said Tabart.

"These declines just cannot continue if we still want to see our beautiful icon here."

Climate change has also played in the decline as it altered the nutritional make-up of their staple food, gumtree leaves, Tabart said.

I like kangaroos and tree kangaroos the most because I feel that kangaroos and tree kangaroos look very lovely and look very lively.

Definition from Wiktionary, a free dictionary
Jump to: navigation, search
Hi Dear Miss Stephanie, I'm Mike. I'm very busying doing my homework and reviewing my school assignments almost every day afternoon and evening in these days. How about you? Are you also very busy doing your homework and reviewing your school assignments in these days like me?

First of all,

1. What is your most favourite animal?

2. Now, let me tell you: Two of my most favourite animals are kangaroos and tree kangaroos.

3. I like kangaroos and tree kangaroos the most because I feel that kangaroos and tree kangaroos look very lovely and look very lively.

4. Do you like kangaroos and tree kangaroos the most like me?

5. If you like kangaroos and tree kangaroos like me, what reason do you like them?

6. If you like kangaroos and treee kangaroos like me, do you have the same reason as me why you like them?

7. Do you also think that kangaroos and tree kangaroos are very lovely and very lively like me?

Secondly,

1. What is your least favourite animal?

2. Now, let me tell you: Three of my least favourite animals are mosquitoes, house flies and house mice.

3. I hate mosquitoes, house flies and house mice the most because I feel that most people think that mosquitoes, house flies and house mice are very disgusting and very explusive.

4. I hate mosquitoes, house flies and house mice the most because I feel: First of all, mosquitoes usually suck our blood from our body, mosquitoes are very likely to carry many harmful bacteria, mosquitoes are very like to spread many different types of disease, mosquitoes often make our daily food and our daily supplies become very dirty. Secondly, house flies usually like to rest and stay in many dirty public washrooms on the streets, house flies are very likely to carry many harmful bacteria, house flies are very likely to spread many different types of disease, house flies often make our daily food and our daily supplies become very dirty. Thirdly, house mice usually like to rest and stay in our living building houses, house mice are very likely to carry many harmful bacteria, house mice are very likely to spread many different types of disease, house mice often make our daily food and our daily supplies become very dirty. In general, mosquitos, house flies and house mice are all pests. To sum up, both mosquitoes and house flies are small harmful flying insects. In short, house mice are small harmful running mammals (small harmful running beasts).

5. Do you hate mosquitoes, house flies and house mice the most like me?

6. If you hate mosquitoes, house flies and house mice like me, what reason do you hate them?

7. If you hate mosquitoes, house flies and house mice like me, do you have the same reason as me why you hate them?

8. Do you also think that mosquitoes, house flies and house mice are very disgusting and very explusive like me?

Thirdly,

The kangaroo is one of my most favourite animals because:

1. The kangaroo is the only most representative animal in Australia. 2. The kangaroo is the only most symbolic animal in Australia. 3. The kangaroo is the only most iconic animal in Australia. 4. The kangaroo is the only most famous animal in Australia. 5. There are many images of a kangaroo in Australia. For Example: a. The icon of Australia often has the image of a kangaroo. b. The emblem of Australia often has the image of a kangaroo. c. The road of the airport often has the image of a kangaroo in

Australia.
d. The airline company often has the image of a kangaroo in

Australia.
Finally,

Compare and Contrast between a kangaroo and a tree kangaroo:

Although both a kangaroo and a tree kangaroo belong to the same order, the same suborder, the same family and the same subfamily, a kangaroo and a tree kangaroo don't belong to the same genus, and a kangaroo and a tree kangaroo don't belong to the same species.

For Example:

1. Both a kangaroo and a tree kangaroo belong to the Order Diprotodontia, the Suborder Macropodiformes, the Family Macropodidae and the Subfamily Macropodinae.

2. A kangaroo belongs to the Genus Macropus.

3. There are many species of kangaroo (many species of large jumping

kangaroo).
4. A tree kangaroo belongs to the Genus Dendrolagus.

5. There are also many species of tree kangaroo.

6. The species of tree kangaroo are as many as the species of

kangaroo (as many as the species of large jumping kangaroo).
That means: The numbers of tree kangaroo species are similar to the

numbers of kangaroo species (similar to the numbers of
large jumping kangaroo species).

Although a tree kangaroo is the closest relative of a kangaroo, there are still some obvious differences between a tree kangaroo and a kangaroo.

For Example:

1. On the one hand, the back legs of a kangaroo are longer than its fore legs for jumping far away on the ground.

2. On the other hand, the back legs of a tree kangaroo are not longer than its fore legs, that means: a tree kangaroo has both its back legs and its fore legs of similar length. This is because unlike a kangaroo, a tree kangaroo is arboreal or tree-dwelling, a tree kangaroo is not ground-dwelling, and a tree kangaroo doesn't need to jump far away on the ground like a kangaroo.
