THREATS

Australia has more endangered species than any other country. In fact, Australia has lost more than 16 mammal species since European settlement which introduced a menagerie of feral pests. Many native birds and mammals were devastated by introduced species, particularly cats, dogs and foxes. Said one conservationist: "Foxes are hunted in England because they are a pest, so what did the colonists do but bring foxes to Australia so they could hunt them!"

KANGAROOS

Here is an oft-repeated story (which needs confirmation). When explorers arrived in Australia and asked one of the Aborigine natives the name of this creature, he replied 'kangaroo.' Little did the explorers know, the word kangaroo meant, 'I don't understand you.'
