Question 1: Welcome to beautiful Blue Mountains National Park. Which country are we in?
- Australia
- New Zealand
- Zimbabwe
Correct Answer: Australia
Fact: Covering over 600,000 acres in New South Wales, Australia, Blue Mountains National Park is a breathtaking expanse of rugged cliffs, deep valleys, and dense eucalyptus forests. As part of the Greater Blue Mountains Area, the park’s dramatic escarpments have been sculpted over time by the flow of several major rivers. It is a haven for diverse wildlife, including rare and endangered species such as the regent honeyeater and the broad-headed snake. The park is also renowned for its stunning lookouts, ancient rock formations, and rich Indigenous heritage, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and adventurers alike.
Question 2: Whose diet consists mainly of eucalyptus leaves?
- Koala
- Giraffe
- Alpaca
Correct Answer: Koala
Fact: Koalas rely on eucalyptus leaves as their main source of food, with their unique digestive systems adapted to break down the otherwise toxic compounds found in the leaves. While there are more than 600 species of eucalyptus, koalas are selective eaters and consume only about 30 of them. Interestingly, these animals have relatively small brains, which limits their problem-solving abilities and adaptability. As a result, if eucalyptus leaves are removed from branches and placed on a flat surface, koalas may not recognize them as food and refuse to eat. This strong dependence on routine and familiarity plays a crucial role in their survival, making habitat conservation essential for their well-being.
Question 3: Australia is famous for its kangaroos. Which statement about kangaroos is true?
- They’re carnivores
- They can’t swim
- They outnumber people in Australia
Correct Answer: They outnumber people in Australia
Fact: As of January 2025, Australia’s population stands at approximately 27 million people. Interestingly, the number of kangaroos across the country has fluctuated between 30 and 50 million over the past decade, often outnumbering humans. Their population tends to vary due to factors like droughts, food availability, and government culling programs aimed at managing their impact on the environment and agriculture.
