2024 Year 7 Science - Australian Mammals

Journey through the night with some of Australia's most fascinating furry friends. Meet waddling wombats, bounding bilbies, prancing possums and daring devils in this introduction to our cute and quirky nocturnal marsupials.

The story depicts a young bilby's birth, habitat, behaviour and diet. When Baby Bilby is born, he's as long as your little toe. He crawls into his mother's warm pouch, where he feeds and grows. Baby Bilby is soon ready to leave the safety of the burrow. He follows his mother closely, sniffs the night air, and hops into the moonlight for his first desert adventure.

For anyone who ever wondered which species of possum lives in their roof, this compact Field guide to Australian Mammals provides informative, easy to understand text alongside full colour photos to allow easy identification of Australian mammals.
