the first Europeans who arrived on the continent could not believe their own eyes. Now, of course, we know about kangaroos and koalas. The country is home to 50 species of kangaroo. Their sizes vary from the size of a rabbit to a five-foot red kangaroo. And now look at this koala bear! This baby will get out of her mother's bag only when feels safe. Isn't it cute? - What other Australian animals may be interested animal lovers? - Actually, a lot of them. Australian wild unbroken horses are great! Then another dingo - an Australian wild dog. - Is there anything special in other lands surrounding Australia? - Not far from the mainland there is an island - Tasmania, known for its unique wildlife. Tasmanian wolves disappeared in the twentieth century. Tasmanian devils - meat-eating animals are still uncontrollable. Look at that little devil. Well, isn't he naughty? He will calm down only when something breaks. - Why is your program called "Croco-files"? - My wife and I mainly talk about crocodiles. I understand crocodiles well and are not afraid of them. - Are there any animals in the area at risk? - For a long time, Australians quietly killed unique animals without thinking about the future. They also brought European animals to the country. The number of rabbits, rats and foxes is increasing, while the number of kangaroos, koalas and crocodiles is decreasing. Some animals, such as the Tasmanian Wolf, have become extinct.
