God creatures this world variously. Nothing’s same in this world, including its fauna. Try to turn your globe! Just as you turn it for a little, it has already shown different areas and of course, different fauna for each area.
Look! For each area in this world, surely it is at least one special animal. These animals are often used as emblem for this area. Now, let’s start our journey! In this part, I’ll invite you to Asia and Australia.
1. Let’s turn your globe to east part of this world… China! And I think you’ve already known their special animal. Yeah, panda.

Panda is very funny and cute animal. Panda is a kind of bear, but it’s unique – panda eats bamboo, not meat. Panda also eats egg and insect. Their habitat is in mountains area. Panda is one of animal which is in extinction threatening. Hence it is necessary to build a panda reservation. Now, the most famous panda reservation is in Wolong, Sichuan, China.Actually, panda is very lazy animal, especially for copulation. It is one of the factor why it’s difficult to increase their population. In addition, panda willn’t eat bamboo, if the bamboo isn’t from the nature forest!
2. Turn down your globe, and you’ll find an archipelago, Indonesia. In Indonesia, so many animals live, because there are tropical forest here. And I’ll direct your journey to Komodo Island in Nusa Tenggara, because it is one of the candidate of seven wonders of the world.

There was a hunter, he was chased by a komodo. In his panic, he climbed up a tree to save himself. Unfortunately, the number of komodo increased! They waited for the hunter for 2 days. What a pity.
Fortunately, in day 3, another group of hunters who coincidentially passed saved him.
In one time komodo eat, they can eat a cow which have two times of komodo’s weight. Be careful, avoid to see komodo from the near because if you are bitten, your injury will be decayed.
3. Now, direct your globe to South Asia, and look for India. You know, for centuries, the tribes in India is famous because of their strength army. This is because, not like the other armies in other areas in the world, they used elephant as their “vehicle”! So, not like horseman, their “vehicle” can help them for war, too.

The strength of ‘elephant-man’ of India has inspired a famous film, Lord of The Ring.
4. Turn left your globe for a little, and look for Arab peninsula, which is famous because of their desert. And guess which animal can survive well in the desert? Yes, camel. This special animal has been “exploited” for more than two centuries. Like in this picture, camel has humps as its water and grease reservation. Also, camel just excretes its urine for a very, very little. That’s why camel is number one in survival in desert.
5. Jump to the other continent, fasten your belt, because we’ll fly to Australia. Wow, a nice journey, isn’t it?
Australia. What animal do you think if you remember this continent? Koala, kangaroo, platypus, black swan, and more! Because people call Australia as ‘kangaroo continent’, I’ll explain about it.
Kangaroo – a famous animal because they “cradle their baby” in the pouch. Kangaroo moves with its incredible jump. An animal that I think – very agile, unique.

Ironically, the kangaroo’s population in Australia is very much, even they cause damaged in the forest and agriculture environment! Fauna experts in Australia said ,“ If you want to save the environment, eat kangaroo.”
