Wallabies, wombats and other mammals of Australia

You might think that all Australian mammals have fur and pouches, like kangaroos and wallabies. But bats have no pouches and dolphins have neither fur nor pouches, yet these are both mammals too. So are echidnas and platypuses! 'Wallabies, Wombats and Other Mammals of Australia' shows all the different types of mammals in their varied natural habitats, and includes: full-colour photographs; a full-colour map showing where the different mammal habitats are; text full of interesting and fun information about mammal behaviour; activities to test your knowledge; a glossary to explain new words; an index that includes both common and scientific names; a lot of other books and websites where you can find out more.

Text and photographs introduce readers to the three different kinds of mammals found in Australia: monotremes, placental mammals and marsupials. Includes information about their behaviour and their habitats. Suggested level: primary.
