Kangaroo country is synonymous with which country?

Australia has this title because kangaroos are the national treasure of this country, and the number of kangaroos in Australia is amazing. As of 20 16, there are 45 million kangaroos in Australia, while the population of Australia is only 24 million.

Kangaroos are native to mainland Australia and parts of Papua New Guinea. Some of them are unique to Australia. All Australian kangaroos live in the wild except those in zoos and wildlife parks. Different kinds of kangaroos live in different natural environments in Australia, from rainforests and desert plains with cool climate to tropical regions.

Characteristics of Australia

1. Many kinds of animals: Australia has rich and diverse local animals, many of which can only be found here. The iconic kangaroo lives only in Australia and is the most recognizable mammal here. Australia's 85.7 million sheep (mostly Merino sheep) produce most of the world's wool every year. In addition, 25.4 million cows make Australia the largest beef exporter in the world.

2. There are many beaches: Australia's coastline stretching nearly 50,000 kilometers covers more than 65,438+/kloc-0,000 beaches, which is the highest in the world. More than 85% of Australians live within 50 kilometers of the coast, which makes the beach an indispensable part of our leisurely lifestyle.

3. There are many immigrants: Australia is a typical immigrant country and is called "national platter" by sociologists. The earliest aborigines in Australia now account for less than 1% of the total population. Immigrants from 120 countries and 140 nationalities came to Australia to make a living and develop.
