TRANSCRIPT
Australia’s diverse and unique landscapes and ecosystems are unparalleled – places of incredible ecological significance
and natural beauty, they are home to some of the world’s
most intriguing wildlife. This engaging series profiles the
legendary Australians who have, adapting in countless ways
to their particular habitats, evolved into some of the strangest and most interesting creatures on the planet – providing
the opportunity to get up close to the unique wildlife that captivates audiences all over the world.
Infamous for being merciless ocean killers, orcas are known
for hunting down even the feared great white shark. Behind
the fierce reputation however, these impressive marine
mammals live in highly organised societies and are in fact
among the world’s most intelligent mammals.
More than any other animal, the kangaroo is an icon and
national symbol – appearing on both the nation’s coat of arms
and currency, this strange macropod is instantly recognisable
around the globe.
Home to some of the most venomous snakes in the world,
as well as the largest and most deadly land predator,
the saltwater crocodile, Australia’s reputation for hatching
cold-blooded killers is well deserved.
Estimated to have diverged from other marsupials as long
as 40 million years ago, wombats are determined, gregarious
and easy to identify with their short-legged, muscular bodies
and stubby tails.
Of all bird species, parrots exhibit behaviours most akin
to humans – they are smart, talkative, playful, curious,
dextrous, sociable, argumentative and capable of learning
throughout their long lives.
Meet the world’s oldest surviving monotremes – the platypus and the echidna. The only surviving mammals to share some
key traits with reptiles, their discovery sent shockwaves through
the scientific community, and indeed the entire world.
Meet the fascinating and iconic characters at home in an ancient land!
