AUSTRALIAN ANIMALS
Nocturnal animals only come out at night, they live in woods and other quiet places, they move and feed while we are asleep.
Many nocturnal animals have poor eyesight, they rely on other senses like touch, feel and smell.
Nocturnal animals often need there ears more that their eyes, a wood may seem quiet but they listen for small sounds.

Australia has about 800 species of bird.

Australian wrens look and act much like northern hemisphere wrens and Australian robins seem to be close relatives of the northern hemisphere robins.
But in fact the majority of Australian passerines are descended from the ancestors of the crow family, and the close resemblance is misleading.
