Why can’t Australia’s exotic flora and fauna be found anywhere else in the world?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Australia’s distinct flora and fauna have developed due to its prolonged separation from other continents and its diverse range of environments.
Reasons for the uniqueness of Australia’s plant and animal life:
-
Isolation: For millions of years, Australia has remained geographically separated from the rest of the world. This isolation limited the arrival of new species, giving native organisms the chance to evolve and occupy ecological roles that, elsewhere, are filled by different animals.
-
Varied Environments: The wide range of ecosystems across Australia has encouraged the development of many species that are not found in any other part of the world.
-
Climate Changes: In other parts of the world, animals were able to relocate in response to major climate changes. In contrast, Australia’s isolated position restricted such movement. As a result, Australian species have evolved with distinctive features and survival strategies.
