Our topic today is "Creatures Unique to Australia, with questions answered by wildlife expert, Dr Jim Smith. 我们今天的话题是“澳大利亚特有的生物”，由野生动物专家吉姆・史密斯博士回答问题。 对...而言是独一无二的的 It has to be the kangaroo, as it has a wide distribution throughout the country. It's a tough animal that has to survive in a difficult environment. Also, it cannot walk backwards, so it is always moving forwards. This expresses the strength and resolve of the Australians as individuals and as a nation. Baby kangaroos weigh only two grammes at birth. They then find their way into their mothers pouch—a kind of a pocket—to stay safe and warm. They sleep and drink milk in that temporary, protected environment until they are about seven or eight months old. After this phase, they go out to try their legs. After they learn to jump, they gradually spend less time with their mother and learn to be independent. Kangaroos may look cute, but encounters with them don't always end so well. Kangaroos can hit and kick very hard, so please folks, if you see some kangaroos, remember they're not for petting! Australia has lots of unique animals, but which animal is a symbol of the country? ...的象征 Animal Files: Kangaroo Appearance： Uniqueness： Relationship with others： Babies： Kangaroo cannot , have a . baby kangaroos weigh .

They spend quite a lot of time eating, sleeping, and hanging onto tree trunks, so interaction with humans can cause them a lot of stress. Because of this, the government began to make laws against touching koalas, in the interest of animal protection, as well as public safety. So, if you see one in the wild, you shouldn't approach it to pick it up or even touch it. If you want to hold a koala, you have to go to certain licensed zoos where animal experts make sure that the koalas selected for each session are in a good state for human contact and that they are handled for only a limited time and on a limited frequency of occasions. Koalas are cute, and we see so many pictures of people holding them. But in many places in Australia, it is against the law to even touch them. Can you clarify that? 在有限频率的场合 为了..的利益 Animal Files: Koala Koala Appearance： uniqueness： Relationship with others： Others： cute but . interaction with humans can . government began to . eating, & on tree trunks sensitive cause them a lot of stress sleeping hanging make laws against touching koalas It is against the law to touch them!

What about animals which aren’t so cute? My favourite is a little creature called the Tasmanian devil. If you are out camping in Tasmania and come across one, the experience might scare you! Tasmanian devils hunt at night, so you won't usually see them, but you may hear their loud cries when they are fighting or eating. The noise they make could wake the dead. Frightening! They are about the size of small dogs and look like rather large black rats. They also have a terrible smell! Their diet is mostly dead animals. Fortunately, despite their name, they are generally not violent towards people. /tæz’meɪnɪən/ /devl/恶魔 Animal Files: the Tasmanian devil (袋獾) the Tasmanian devil Appearance： Diet： Relationship with others： Others： at night , when fighting or eating --- could __ . about the size of and look like rather . mostly . not violent towards people small dogs large black rats dead animals hunt loud cries /noise wake the dead It is not so cute!

Is that some kind of bird? Not at all. While it may lay eggs in a nest like a bird, it's really a primitive mammal, with a unique biology. Its eggs hatch after about ten days, and then the baby platypus nurses from its mother like all other mammals. Its nose looks like a duck's bill and it has feet like a duck's so it can dive under the water. but it's covered in hair. Do you know what's really strange about a platypus? The platypus doesn't use its senses of sight or smell to find food. It has a capacity to find food in the water by using electrical sensors in its bill. There are only a small handful of animals in the world that can do that! /plætɪpəs/鸭嘴兽 某种 Animal Files: the duck-billed platypus (鸭嘴兽) the duck-billed platypus Appearance： Uniqueness： Others： like a duck’s in a nest but is a , with a unique . can under the water; use to find food. nose and feet biology lay eggs primitive mammal electrical sensors dive It's a mammal and find food in the water by using electrical sensors in its bill!

Black and white fur is the typical characteristic of pandas, whose adorable appearance attracts a large number of fans.
