      SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT RARE ANIMALS

  Wombats and koalas are Australian animals. They have many similarities and are probably related. Both have pockets inside their mouths to store food and neither has a tail.                                                                                                                  The number of koalas is getting smaller. This is because of fumes from bush fires. Rescue teams help the koalas by catching them, putting them on respirators and then returning them to their original location when they are better.

       ECOLOGICAL  PROBLEMS                                    

When people move into new lands, the plants and animals that live there can become endangered. As there’s no place for them to live , they begin to disappear. Some even become extinct, which means that they all die out, and are gone from the Earth forever.
