Curraghs Wildlife Park

Australian Outback

emu

Australia, the island continent, where most of the mammals have pouches (marsupials) and some lay eggs (monotremes). The great grasslands fringing the arid interior, now largely taken over by farmland, were once home to vast numbers of kangaroos and wallabies, equivalent to the antelopes of the African plains, while the many temporary and permanent lakes and rivers support numerous waterfowl and waders.
