My Animal Friends

I’m a Green Tree ant and I mainly live in the forests of Australia. We ants are incredibly strong built for working hard and long. We must all work within the community to survive.

We bears live a solitary life but when it comes to hunting we take it as a reunion. We love to catch and eat fish in the river where we spend a lot of our time but the forest is also our home.

3 - Brumby 13 min

I am a wild horse who lives in Australia. We were born to run and the difference between me and a farm horse is that I can run freely where I want. I meet with my friends donkeys and lizards at waterholes which are very precious for us.

We buddies live in Australia. Here you’ll find everything that budgerigars need: open and broad plains; lakes; rivers; and mainly thousands and thousands of budgerigar friends.

5 - Butterfly 13 min

We Monarch Butterflies have to chew our way from our egg to see the world. Bite by bite together, with my brothers and sisters we start to feed on the leaves. We don’t have any parents but just know what to do.

6 - Cat 13 min

Wild cats and domestic cats are all born the same way but their way of life is a bit different. Wild cats eat what they catch. But domestic cats get food from humans. We domestic don’t have to hunt anymore.

7 - Clown fish 13 min

Hello, I’m little dingo and my mummy will tell me the story of how I was born and how I live. Here we go - Once upon a time, in a country far, far away, called Australia……

10 - Echidna 13 min

It all begins when my Mum laid me as an egg, and kept me warm inside her pouch until I hatched. It takes many days and nights, but a little echidna doesn’t really notice the time passing, because it’s hidden away - deep inside its’ Mum’s pouch. After a while, the Mum will dig a nursery den in the ground, into which she’ll put her growing baby and once the baby is fully developed it can go explore the world. Adventures await!

11 - Elephant 13 min

Elephants love to play in the water and mud. We throw the mud around, and spray the water all over our bodies. But watch out! We don’t want to meet the lions.

12 - Gazelle 13 min

We gazelles live on the Savannah in Africa. Mummy said, that the Savannah is a very dry place. My dad has big horns so he can fight to protect us because lions want to eat us.

13 - Cheetah 13 min

We are the fastest runners in the world. We hunt our dinner and when we do we can run only for a short distance, we must catch something fast; otherwise we have to stop. If we don’t stop we can overheat, and that’s a very dangerous condition for us.

14 - Kangaroo 13 min

We love our home in Australia. We love all types of grass, but there are some types we prefer more. Oh did I mention we love to jump? Every part of a kangaroo’s body is perfectly suited for skillful jumping. What is also special about us is that when we are small our mom carries us in her pouch isn’t that cool?

15 - Kestrel 13 min

Hello! I’m a kestrel and I’ve a got a great view from our nest. My mummy is flying around here, somewhere. Kestrels are predators, which mean we eat meat.

16 - Koala 13 min

I am a koala and my life is all about eucalyptus because we eat its leaves. Here in Australia there are so many leaves that you can’t possibly eat them all. Not even all the koalas in the world could eat all of them.

17 - Pelican 13 min

There are many pelicans in the world. We are Australian pelicans. But we don’t live only in Australia. We also live in other parts of the world. Pelicans like to hunt together. We hunt as a team.

19 - Sea Horse 13 min

In the seahorse family, it is the daddy who gives birth to us. He carry’s us in his sac, until we hatch from the eggs our mommy lay into his sac. There are various species of seahorse. That’s why we come in different sizes and shapes.

20 - Tern 13 min

We live by the water and build our nests in the sand on the shores. We like to live all together in a flock. We terns are able to fly soooooooo long above the ocean without landing.

21 - Turtle 13 min

Turtle Mum usually just lays her eggs and leaves. Once we hatch, we have to take care of ourselves. From the moment we hatch, we know everything we need to know. We know what to do, where the ocean is, how to swim, and how to walk.

22 - Zebra 13 min

Hello I’m a little zebra. You say you already know of-me? I live in Africa. It’s nice and warm here, I like it a lot. Also, other animals live here with us and there is always something exciting going on. We are black and white and have stripes. When we come to waterholes we must be careful not to meet the crocodile because he would want to eat us. Even when there are a lot of us, we still walk together. We love to roll in the dust!

In our world everything is varied. Each living thing: Humans, animals on dry, animals living in water, birds, plants, and even insects - are all different.
