Animals

They can be found in cold, polar waters as well as in warm tropical environments.

The term “jellyfish” is commonly used to describe a marine animal, distinguished by its umbrella-shaped bells and tentacles, but it is in fact a predatory, sexual stage of medusozoan cnidarians.

The radula is made of chitin and its task is to crush food that has entered the mouth.

The puff adder can be dark brown, olive green, black, or gray.

They spend the majority of their days in holes and burrows.

The burrows they create then become a shelter for other animal species.

Their vocalization can be picked up from over 1.6 kilometers away.

The breeding season is shorter on Rottnest Island and lasts from January to August. On the mainland, however, quokkas can breed throughout all year.

In Great Britain for example more than 20 visits has been recorded.
