Australia is home to many unique species of flora and fauna, and this is due to a mixture of geographical and climatic factors. The Southern Supercontinent Gondwana, as it began to break up resulted in Australia being isolated, and today is known as an island continent. After millions of years of evolution, separate from the rest of the world, in addition to extremely arid climate, the organisms adapted uniquely to these conditions. Knowing this, I decided to visit Featherdale Wildlife Park to explore and experience some of the beautiful organisms that dwell in this beautiful country.

I had to correct one of my tour buddies, as what we were looking at here wasn't a large rodent, rather, it was a little joey (or baby kangaroo).
