Terra Australis Incognita ( Terra Australis Incognita) - Unknown southern land. It is here, in Australia, is one of the most mysterious countries on Earth.
What is on the other side of The globe? Or on the back of a flat disc? Now you will see that Australia is not just very far away, but still very seditious.
Lost world
Let's start with the cutest animals. Only in Australia, and nowhere else, live marsupial species of animals, such as koalas. A curious fact-koalas, as well as humans and primates, there is a papillary pattern on the fingertips. The fingerprints of koalas are so similar to the fingerprints of people, and they are difficult to distinguish even under an electron microscope. Maybe once they were people?
Still in Australia lived marsupial wolves, they are Tasmanian tigers. But they quickly arranged the end of the world. Who and why? More on that later.
There is also a wombat-a bear-like marsupial companion.
Well, the most famous species of marsupials, which, unlike the Tasmanian tigers, lucky to survive to this day - a kangaroo.
Why marsupials live only in Australia, write in the comments to this video, for us it is a mystery of nature.
These are the kookaburras. When they shout, it seems that somewhere a person is laughing loudly.
And this is the famous Australian lyre or lyretail. You can give her a second name - bird-copy-paste. She is able to copy absolutely any sound she hears. Just listen to it, and believe me-this is not a montage, but a real sound:
Only in Australia lives platypus, which is both oviparous and mammal. Imagine hatched Chicks sucking milk. This is not some kind of psychedelic, this is what platypus procreation looks like.
Ah and here is still enough known fact: only on this continent home to the most a large number of in world toxic snakes and spiders. Therefore, there is an unusual censorship: in cartoons and children's programs, spiders can not be positive or neutral characters, so that children understand from childhood what danger they pose.
And in Australia, sometimes it's like this:...
This is just a so-called invasion of spiders.
However, knowledgeable people who have lived in Australia for a long time, say that bees are much more dangerous than spiders. And then there are the fire ants, which were introduced by accident. Or poisonous scolopendra, up to 30 centimeters long, or Stingray-tail, which is also life-threatening.
The green Kingdom is also not friendly. Imagine that the nettle has become a whole tree - in Australia it is real. Gympie - Gympie-grows in the Australian jungle and its burn is called the most painful. The terrifying plant contains one of the most persistent toxins known to man, so the burning can last up to two years after contact! Known even history human, which on inexperience used leaf Gympie-Gympie in as a toilet paper, but after contact with so lopushkom happened lethal outcome.
In General on this can be to end. It would seem that Australia is now the world champion for disgusting and dangerous creatures of medium and small sizes.
But in fact, in the history of the continent there were characters and more terrible spiders with snakes.
Newcomers
250 years ago, the British expedition of James cook on the ship" endeavour " explored and mapped the East coast of Australia.
But it was not eaten in Australia, about it some other time.
A fleet of 11 sailing ships sailed from the coast of Britain and arrived on the coast of Australia, bringing mainly exiled convicts. This fleet marked the beginning of both the transport of prisoners from England to Australia and the development and settlement of Australia.
Thus, the aborigines of Australia was "lucky" in quotes. Their neighbors were mostly British criminals, from which the Old World decided to get rid. In addition, they were young men without a corresponding number of women.
In 1801, French ships under the command of Admiral Nicolas Baudin explored the southern and Western parts of Australia. After that, the British decided to declare their formal possession of Tasmania and began to create new settlements in Australia.
In 1826, the Governor of New South Wales announced the extension of the power of the British king to the entire mainland. New lands were actively developed by Europeans.
Where did the indigenous people of Australia and Tasmania go?
By 1788, the indigenous population of Australia was estimated to be between 300,000 and 1 million people, grouped into more than 500 tribes, the dialect of each tribe melodically unlike any of the African, European or Asian languages.
