Australian animals
Kangaroos are the only large
animals to use hopping as a means of locomotion. The comfortable hopping speed for a red kangaroo is about 20–25 km/h (13–
16 mph), but speeds of up to 70
km/h (44 mph) can be attained
over short distances, while it can
sustain a speed of 40 km/h (25
mph) for nearly 2 km (1.2 mi).
The eastern grey kangaroo is predominantly a grazer, eating a wide variety of grasses, whereas
some other species (e.g. the red
kangaroo) include significant
amounts of shrubs in their diets.
Kangaroos have developed a number of adaptations to a dry, infertile
country and highly variable climate. As with all marsupials, the young
are born at a very early stage of development—after a gestation of 31
–36 days.

Emus forage in a diurnal pattern and
eat a variety of native and introduced
plant species. The diet depends on seasonal availability with such plants as
Acacia, Casuarina and grasses being
favoured. They also eat insects and
other arthropods, including grasshoppers and crickets, beetles, cockroaches, ladybirds, Bogong and cotton-boll
moth larvae, ants, spiders and millipedes.
Emus are diurnal birds and spend their
day foraging, preening their plumage with their beak, dust bathing and
resting. They are generally gregarious birds apart from the breeding
season, and while some forage, others remain vigilant to their mutual
benefit. They are able to swim when necessary, although they rarely
do so unless the area is flooded or they need to cross a river.
The emu is the second largest bird in the world, only being exceeded
in size by the ostrich; the largest individuals can reach up to 150 to 190
cm in height. Measured from the bill to the tail, emus range in length
from 139 to 164 cm, with males averaging 148.5 cm and females averaging 156.8 cm. Emus weigh between 18 and 60 kg, with an average
of 31.5 and 37 kg in males and females, respectively. Females are usually slightly larger than males and are substantially wider across the
rump.
The koala is a stocky animal with a
large head and vestigial or nonexistent tail. It has a body length of
60–85 cm and a weight of 4–15 kg,
making it among the largest arboreal marsupials. Koalas from Victoria are twice as heavy as those from
Queensland. The species is sexually
dimorphic, with males 50% larger
than females.

Koalas may live from 13 to 18 years in the wild. While female koalas
usually live this long, males may die sooner because of their more hazardous lives. Koalas usually survive falls from trees and immediately
climb back up, but injuries and deaths from falls do occur, particularly
in inexperienced young and fighting males. Around six years of age,
the koala's chewing teeth begin to wear down and their chewing efficiency decreases. Eventually, the cusps disappear completely and the
animal will die of starvation.
Koalas are herbivorous, and while most of their diet consists of eucalypt leaves, they can be found in trees of other genera, such as Acacia,
Allocasuarina, Callitris, Leptospermum, and Melaleuca. Although the
foliage of over 600 species of Eucalyptus is available, the koala shows
a strong preference for around 30.
