David Attenborough looks at the wildlife of Australia
David Attenborough looks at the wildlife of Australia, a land cast adrift at the time of the dinosaurs and isolated for millions of years, leaving weird and wonderful animals found nowhere else on Earth. In its jungles, a cassowary - one of the most dangerous birds in the world - stands six feet tall, while kangaroos and wombats brave snowstorms, and gum-tree forests are filled with predators. In its red desert heart, reptiles drink through their skin and huge flocks of wild budgerigars swirl in search of water. On secret islands Tasmanian devils roam, and offshore thousands of sharks gather for a rare event
