Animals

 

The Kiwi

Kiwi is an Australian bird that cannot fly. Many kiwis live in Australia’s forests, but people seldom see them. The birds are shy, and they will usually run away when anyone comes near them.

 

The Koala

Koala is an Australian mammal that looks like a teddy bear. It is sometimes called a koala bear or native bear, but the koala is not related to any kind of bear. Koalas have soft, thick fur, a large, hairless nose, round ears and no tail. The fur is grey or brown on the animal’s back and white on the belly.


 

The Kangaroo

Kangaroo is a type of furry mammal that hops on its hind legs. Kangaroos are marsupials, mammals that give birth to highly undeveloped offspring. The young kangaroos complete their development in a pouch on the belly of the mother.

 

The two main types of kangaroos are the red kangaroo and the grey kangaroo. The red kangaroo lives in the deserts and dry grasslands of central Australia. Grey kangaroos are found chiefly in the forests and grasslands of southern and eastern Australia.

The brothers was born in Manchester but they moved to Australia, Barry was born in 1946, Robin and Maurice in 1949.
