FOR YEARS: KINDY – 2

Ants have antennae, which are special organs used by ants to smell and taste.Ants, termites and bees are called ‘social insects’. This is because they

live and work together in massive colonies. Every insect in the colony

is related because they all have the same mum. She’s called the

queen. All the social insects share jobs that help everyone survive.

all about

Most of the animals in a colony are workers that gather food and care for the babies. A few are soldiers that protect the colony from attack. A queen honey bee can lay millions of eggs over her lifetime.

Worker termites are blind.

A bee home is called a hive.

Some colonies of bull ants have no worker ants. If a queen needs more workers, she will invade another ant nest, kill the queen and take over the colony.

Ants and termites live in nests.

all about

Birds that can’t fly

Some birds, such as the emu, can’t fly

at all. The emu is Australia’s largest bird.

They have wings but don’t use them

because they have three large toes

and strong legs that make them very

fast runners.

The cassowary doesn’t need to fly because it has strong

legs. Cassowaries have what looks like a horn on their

heads. This is called a casque, and it’s used to make their

calls to other cassowaries louder – like a microphone!

Penguins can’t fly, but not because

they’re too big or too heavy. They

only have small wings that they use

for swimming instead of flying –

they’re more like flippers!

Kakaduand waterways, but it also has more than 100 other reptile species, including turtles, snakes and lizards, as well as 280 bird species and 26 types of frog.

Many endangered and vulnerable animals make their homes in Kakadu National Park, including the bare-rumped sheathtail bat, Gouldian finch, olive ridley turtle and the northern river shark.Aboriginals are estimated to have lived in

Kakadu for more than 50,000 years and there are about 15,000 rock-art sites there. Some depict indigenous Australians meeting Macassan, Chinese and European people. Currently about

500 Aboriginal people live in the park.

A stunning national park of big contrasts, Kakadu floods in the November–April wet season, when water thunders off the escarpments. Its vast plains become lush, freshwater wetlands

covered in blue-green spear grass. But, by the middle of the year, the park turns to more of a reddy brown colour, its dry woodlands punctuated with termite mounds and shrinking billabongs.

Encompassing 19,804sq.km in the north of the Northern Territory, Kakadu is Australia’s largest national park. It takes 2–4 hours to drive there from Darwin.

In terms of animals, Kakadu is best known for the saltwater crocodiles that lurk in the billabongs

Keeper of the Northern Territory’s natural treasures.

DiD you KNow? The Bininj/Mungguy

Aboriginal people of the

Kakadu region recognise that

there are six seasons, not four.

“Wurrgeng” is the season in

the middle of the year, when

southern Australia is in winter.

Rock art, crocodiles, rare Gouldian finches (right) and

thundering waterfalls attract visitors to Kakadu.

Billabongs and floodplains help support more than 280 bird and 26 frogs such as the green tree frog (right).

An escarpment, like this one

overlooking a Kakadu floodplain at Ubirr, is a

long, cliff-like bit of rock.

Six different types of seal are found in Antarctica. They have flippers that help make them excellent swimmers, but these also make them look clumsy when they try to move about out of water.Weddell and crabeater seals come out of the ocean each spring to breed in groups on the ice floating above the ocean along the Antarctic continent’s coastline. Leopard and Ross seals also breed on the ice but live mostly alone or in pairs.Antarctic fur seals and southern elephant seals breed in large, noisy and smelly colonies on the beaches around Antarctic islands.

Seal worldAntarctica’s seals spend most of their time in the ocean, hunting fish, squid and krill. But they need to come out of the water to breed.

Leopard sealsLeopard seals get their name from their spotty body markings. Like most seals, they eat a lot of fish and squid.

But they are also well-known for being hunters with very big canine teeth. Large adults will often eat penguins and even smaller seals. Although leopard seals live and breed mostly in Antarctica they sometimes appear in waters near Australia.

Fur seals don’t have thick layers of fat like other seals. Instead, a thick fur coat helps keep them warm.

Male elephant seals are the biggest of Antarctica’s seals, weighing 4 tonnes. That’s as heavy as about 47 men!

Staying in the water during

winter lets Weddell seals avoid Antarctica’s fierce blizzards. Using their sharp teeth, they

make holes in the ice so they can breathe.

AMAZINGANTARCTICA!THE LAST FRONTIER

Amazing AntarcticaIt was the last continent to be discovered and large parts of it are yet to be explored. Antarctica truly is

one of the world’s last frontiers! So come with us on a journey of discovery across the very large, icy, white

world at the end of the Earth. You’ll � nd a place where penguins march, whales and seals splash and most

animals depend for their survival on tiny prawn-like creatures called krill.

The best of Australia from those who know it best

Australian Geographic Society. Dick wanted to remind us what a fantastic country this is, and to help adventurers,

scientists and conservationists with their work.Now AUSTRALIAN GEOGRAPHIC is sharing what we’ve

learnt with the nation’s schools.
