Disaeva040 Vegetation Australia and Oceania very distinctive. This particularly applies to Australia, which for a long period of geological history has evolved in isolation from other parts of the globe.Flora of Australia is so different from other parts of the land floras that this continent together with Tasmania stands out in particular the Australian botanical and geographical area. Oceania refers to different subdomains Palaeotropical area. However, the proximity to the majority of Australia's major islands of Oceania, and the existence of a land connection between them at a time when the formation of the modern flora, has meant that in the vegetation of Australia and some islands of Oceania, there are many common elements.Formation of tropical flora of Australia and Oceania began in the Cretaceous and continued at the beginning of the Tertiary period, when Australia was represented by a single land with the neighboring islands. Until the end of the Mesozoic Australia was connected to South America, South Africa and Antarctica. Past due, apparently, by the end of the Mesozoic broken, due to the islands to the east and north, and through them to Asia, existed in the Tertiary period. This explains the floristic community of Australia with the other continents of the southern hemisphere, as well as Asia and the islands of Oceania. But since, obviously, from the middle of the Tertiary period Australia was isolated from other continents, the composition of its flora is dominated by elements that are not found in other parts of the world.On the territory of the Australian existed disparate centers of formation of flora - one in the south-west and in the central part, the other in the east. Between these centers in the Mesozoic and Tertiary marine basin existed, which drained and vegetation populated only by the beginning of the Quaternary period.

kazak0510ruslananna Amazing, unique continent on the planet, Australia. Under a layer of earth of its hidden wastes huge reservoirs of water, and above the parched earth. The farmers breed cattle, they run herds of wild camels, the herds of feral horses "Brumby", on which rode the pioneers of the continent. In Australia such graze large herds of donkeys, which such amount is no longer anywhere on earth. Every year they are caught by the thousands.

In Australia there live many rare animals - kangaroos, marsupial bears Koala, platypus and other exotic creatures. The law is allowed to keep the handsome kangaroos as Pets.Amazing, unique continent on the planet, Australia.

The most interesting animal of Australia - kangaroos. James cook, the famous captain, compare this animal with Greyhound, which rides "as a hare or a deer." On the head of his big ears, hind legs very strongly developed, feet great, the tail is long, firm and thick. They are designed to not ride worse than a horse, to reach the speed of fifty kilometers per hour, jump to a distance of not less than nine metres away, while still capable how to stand up for themselves. This kangaroo is very energy efficient beast, it takes much less resources when running than if calculated in proportion to their height and weight, the same running dog.Little cingulata are born hairless, blind, deaf and surprisingly helpless. They are called "Joey". They hide in the bag my mom and go there "to condition", if I may say so. There he fed mother's milk, and then, when they grow up and Mature, will be able to get out of the bag.Many centuries and even millennia, the Australian continent was isolated from the rest of the world. Here lived the natives who hunted simple spears, built huts from improvised means and for centuries was looking at the same stars. And thanks to this isolation in Australia has formed a special, rare flora and fauna, and more specifically, it managed to survive since time immemorial. The same cute marsupial wombat and Koala bears would not be able to survive there if next to them lived toothy European wolves, the Asian tigers or American Cougars that climb trees. And so defenceless creatures live in the Australian nature and live.

перевод Удивительный, уникальный континент на планете – Австралия. Под толщей земли ее пустошей скрыты огромные резервуары воды, а сверху – иссушенные земли. На них фермеры разводят скот, по ним бегают стада диких верблюдов, табуны одичавших лошадей «брамби», на которых скакали первопроходцы континента. В Австралии пасутся такие огромные стада ослов, которых в таком количестве больше нет нигде на земле. Каждый год их ловят тысячами.
В Австралии живет очень много редких животных – кенгуру, сумчатые мишки коалы, утконосы и другие экзотические существа. Законом разрешается держать красавцев кенгуру в качестве домашних животных.
Самое интересное животное Австралии – кенгуру. Джеймс Кук, знаменитый капитан, сравнил это животное с борзой, которая скачет «как заяц или олень». На голове его большие уши, задние конечности очень мощно развиты, стопы огромные, хвост длинный, упругий и толстый. Они приспособлены скакать не хуже, чем лошади, развивать скорость до пятидесяти километров в час, прыгать на расстояние не меньше девяти метров, а еще способны как следует постоять за себя. При этом кенгуру очень «энергосберегающий» зверь, он затрачивает намного меньше ресурсов при беге, чем, если рассчитать пропорционально росту и весу, та же бегущая собака.
Маленькие кенгурята рождаются без шерсти, слепыми, глухими и удивительно беспомощными. Их называют «джоуи». Они прячутся в сумке у мамы и доходят там «до кондиции», если можно так сказать. Там он кормится материнским молоком, а потом, когда подрастет и окрепнет, сможет вылезать из сумки.
Много веков и даже тысячелетий Австралийский континент был изолирован от остального мира. Здесь жили туземцы, которые охотились простыми копьями, строили хижины из подручных средств и веками смотрели на одни и те же звезды. И именно благодаря этой изолированности в Австралии сформировалась особая, редкостная флора и фауна, а точнее, она сумела сохраниться еще с незапамятных времен. Те же милые сумчатые вомбаты и мишки коалы не смогли бы выжить там, если бы рядом с ними жили зубастые европейские волки, азиатские тигры или американские пумы, что лазают по деревьям. А так беззащитные существа живут в австралийской природе и здравствуют.
