Australia�s geographical isolation had a profound effect on the evolution of its native animals. The sheer age of the land mass and its division by sea from other continents allowed Mother Nature to have her way, independent of what was happening elsewhere on earth. Consequently, Australian wildlife took on a unique character.There are no better example than the Australian mammals. There are 3 sub-group of mammals i) placentals ii) marsupials iii) monotremes. The placental group comprise all the familiar mammal that exist on earth (e.g humans, dogs, cows etc). Australia, instead, has marsupials being the most prominent (e.g the Koala, Kangaroo, Possums etc). Australia also have a large number of monotremes - the most exotic mammals which combine reptile and mammal traits (e.g. the duck-billed Platypus and the Echidna spiny anteater). In short, we have got some really unique Australian wildlife to show you, mate! So, just sit back, click-your-mouse and let us take you through a Virtual Tour of some of Australia�s best, most compelling Wildlife attractions.[click here to start guided Australian Wildlife Tour]
