The animals examined in this resource include the Emu, Saltwater Crocodile, Bilby, Thorny Devil, Red Kangaroo, Tasmanian Devil, Tasmanian Tiger, Wombat and Mountain Pygmy Possum from Australia; the Indian Wolf and Javan Rhinoceros from Asia; the Emperor Penguin and Weddell Seal from Antarctica; the Arctic Fox and the Polar Bear, from the Arctic; the Jerboa and the Camel from the Sahara; and the Snow Leopard and the Red Panda from the Himalaya Mountains.
