Australian animals for kids

Australia has animals that are found nowhere else in the world. These guides cover kangaroos, tree kangaroos, koalas, platypuses and Tasmanian devils. Many of these animals are marsupials, which carry their babies in a pouch. The platypus is one of the only mammals that lays eggs. You can find out how each animal lives and what it eats. One guide looks at the most dangerous animals in Australia. Another gives a tour of the animals you might meet there.
