дThe
Tasmanian wolf's genus name, Thylacinus, means pouched dog. The female has a

pouch which opens backwards and contains four teats. The pouch is large enough
to hold four pups, although the usual number of young in a litter is two. The
period of gestation is not known, but it is probably a little less than one
month. The young are born hairless and blind in an incomplete, almost embryonic
state of development. They are carried in the pouch for three months-the
duration of their semi embryonic life. The cubs are then deposited in a nest of
dry leaves and grass until they are old enough to hunt for themselves.

The Great Barrier Reef is one of Australia's most popular tourist
attractions. It is the largest coral reef in the world, stretching for about
1250 miles along the coast of Queensland. The reef has thousands of islands and
underwater coral formations. The sandy beaches of the islands and the
interesting sea life of the reef mark it an ideal spot for skin diving.

literallyWithout a sheep, there can be no wool.The
benefit comes, after all, from a price one has paid. Whatever is the expense,
somebody is going to pay for it.·
Sheep yield wool, meat, and leather. They also furnish
the raw materials for many byproducts, such as glue, tallow, suet, soap,
fertilizer, cosmetics, and the catgut used in stringing tennis rackets.
λLong famous as a land of sheep,
Australia is the world's leading producer and exporter of wool and mutton and is
a major producer and exporter of beef and wheat. Australia is also a highly
industrialized country. Large deposits of coal and iron have become the basis
for an iron and steel industry, white an expanding economy provides a large
domestic market for a wide range of goods and services.
New Zealandж
йIn Australia, there are about 14
sheep for every person. In New Zealand, there are about 20 sheep for every
person. Some states in the western United States also have more sheep than
people.

practices the ancient custom of fire walking. Performers do not walk on fire,
but on hot stones. Fijians drink kavayanggona in Fijian, a strong but non-in
toxicating drink made from the root of a pepper plant. The drink partially numbs
the tongue and lips. Fijians use it as part of most ceremonies. They celebrate
every occasion with dancing.
Most Fijians grow crops or catch fish for a living, but many work for the
Europeans as clerks, carpenters, and police. People of Indian descent grow most
of the island's sugarcane, and they also keep dairy cattle. Miners take gold,
copper, and iron from the rocks of the lager island. The Fiji Island produce
coconuts, sugar, gold, timber, and tobacco. They ship tropical fruits to
Australia and New Zealand. Most eastern Fiji Islands are volcanic. They only
industry there is making copradried coconut meat.

Greek mythology, a winged monster with the body of a lion and the head and

from the Greek city of Thebes when they failed to guess her riddleWhat is
four-footed in the morning, two-footed at noon, three-footed in the evening?
Oedipus solved the riddle by replyingMan, who in childhood creeps on hands
and knees, in manhood walks erect, and in old age uses a staff.The Sphinx,
hearing this, threw herself from a rock and perished, and Oedipus thus became
the liberator of Thebes and was made its king.
