Australia’s Greatest Islands – The Secrets of Nature (VIDEO)
Australia’s Greatest Islands takes a very close swim with manta rays and whales, tracks endangered seals and kangaroos and watches birds that fly backwards in one great film about some of Australia’s greatest islands. Four of Australia’s 20 thousand islands have been selected for this one hour special, all with an abundance of wildlife.
On the southern-most tip of the greatest coral reef in the world, the Great Barrier Reef, the remarkable coral cay of Lady Eliot Island is home to big colonies of sea birds, manta rays, turtles and humpback whales. The star of Kangaroo Island is a sub-species of kangaroos, as well as koalas in plague proportions and endangered sea lions. Sanctuaries like idyllic Lord Howe Island feature with its plentiful colonies of birds, such as the endemic endangered Lord Howe Island Wood- hen, and the Red-tailed Tropicbird, with its fancy courting rituals. Finally, there’s the extremes of the sub-Antarctic on Macquarie Island, with huge colonies of colourful king penguins and enormous elephant seals.
As animals fight to survive in these paradises, so do plants. From tropical beaches to sub-zero temperatures, Australia’s Greatest Islands guides viewers through the abundance of wildlife while exploring how the unique wildlife survives.

When you people started to live in that island I mean Australia. You are not the real people who were suppose to live there right

That's one mother that doesn't gotta worry bout ppl touching the baby too much!
what an absolute nightmare that woman is
What about choomah island?
Why does he talk so weird?????
So it's ok to sterilize an overgrown population of animals so that they can have a smaller animal group in the future. However hunting to achieve the same goals is considered barbaric? Personally I think sterilizing the poor creatures is worse. I don't understand why not relocate the Koalas into areas where their numbers have declined due to predation by dogs and just get rid of the dogs. Win win.
dont sterilize them relocate them to Australia were they can reproduce
example of bad documentary. Don't tell the viewer what he should think or imagine, respect the viewer's freedom and focus on doing your job instead.
Australian is a very beautiful place to see all wild life at play and to see all birds flying in the skies up above to
Best
