The Elephant

They have almost hairless skin, four legs, and a distinctive long,
flexible, prehensile trunk. The elephants which is also known as the largest of all land
mammals usually live in groups consisting of adult female elephant as the leader of the
group, their children and their relative female elephants. The elephants are herbivores
and eat all types of vegetation such as grasses, leaves, and fruits.

The elephants also have very sharp auditory because they have big and wide ears. By
these ears, they can hear sounds from a distance about tens kilometer. At the back of
the ears, they have one of the softest parts of their body which is called the knuckle. In
a zoo, Mahouts (elephant trainers) use their feet to steer or give commands to the
animal via tha knuckle. Now, they are a kind of protected animals because their
population remains little in their habitat. Their population began to decline year by year.

The Koala

When we talk about Australia, there are lot of things we can discuss, its beauty, nature,
history, and exotic animals. Many people think that Australia is only about kangaroo
when discussing about exotic animals. But have you ever heard about Koala? Here are
the description of the most charismatic of all marsupials, Koala.
Koala is Australia's epidemic animal, which means it is found in Australia alone. The
Koala is a small to medium sized mammal. The Koala has large, wide face and round,
white-tufted ears giving it the appearance of a small bear, along with their lack of a
visible tail and smooth, black nose. The Koala is a herbivorous animal that only feeds
on the leaves of the eucalyptus tree in order to survive. Eucalyptus leaves are tough
and fibrous and often toxic making them inedible to other herbivorous animals, but not
for the Koala. With its unique appearance and its diet habit, the koala is became one of
Australia's most famous and treasured species of mammal and is found on numerous
emblems and in stories not just in Australia but worldwide.
