Stingray

Photo by Fadzil Hisham Stingrays are a group of sea rays, which are cartilaginous fish related to sharks. There are about 220 known stingray species, many species are endangered. Stingrays are commonly found in the shallow coastal waters of temperate seas. They spend the majority of their time inactive, partially buried in sand, often moving only with the sway of the tide. The stingray's spine, or barb, can be ominously fashioned with serrated edges and a sharp point. The underside may produce venom, which can be fatal to humans, and which can remain deadly even after the stingray's death.

Koala

Photo by Fadzil Hisham You may have heard people call them koala ‘bears’, these awesome animals aren’t bears at all. Koalas are in fact marsupials. They are a type of mammals, which have pouches where their newborns develop. Their name came form Aboriginal word meaning, ‘no drink’, maybe because they rarely drink water. Koalas can be found in the eucalyptus forests in Australia. They have grey fur with cream-coloured chest, and strong clawed feet. Koalas live in the branches of trees. A baby koala is called a joey. At average a koala can grow up to about 60cm-85cm long, and weigh about 14kg. Koalas are big eaters. They can consume up to one kilogram of eucalyptus leaves in a day. When the koalas are not eating, they can sleep for up to 18 hours a day. The most beautiful in the world is the world itself
