By BETTY DEBNAM Olly, Syd and Millie Australian Olympic Mascots The Olympic Games have mascots that represent the host country. Australia is full of interesting animals, and three of them have been chosen as models for Olympic mascots. Their names have special meanings, and their personalities represent the special traits of the Australian people. Olly the friendly kookaburra is named for the Olympic Games. Olly is welcoming and helpful, and represents the air over Australia. Syd the sporty platypus is named after Sydney, the host city. Syd is funny and energetic. He represents Australia s waters. Millie the youthful echidna is named for the millennium. Millie is very optimistic about the future. She represents Australia s land. The models for the mascots The kookaburra... has a call that sounds like human laughter and is often called the laughing jackass. eats small mammals, snakes, insects and termites. kills snakes by taking them high up in trees and dropping them down. lives in treetops, termite nests and riverbanks. The platypus (PLAT-uh-puhs)... has a brown, velvety coat, a rubbery, ducklike bill, webbed feet and claws, and a beaverlike tail. makes its home in riverbanks. eats shrimp, snails, frogs, worms and insect larvae. searches for food with its sensitive bill. The platypus and the echidna are the only mammals that lay eggs! They nurse their young through pores in the mother s skin. The echidna (ih-kihd-nuh)... is also called the spiny anteater. is covered with stout spines and bristly hair. defends itself by curling up into a ball of prickly spines. eats ants and termites that it catches with its long, sticky tongue. has both nostrils and mouth at the end of a long snout.

4 37-4 (00) photo courtesy the San Diego Zoo Australia s Amazing Animals The marsupials Female marsupials carry their young in a fold or pouch. A young marsupial: is hairless and weighs less than an ounce at birth. crawls into the pouch and attaches itself to the mother s nipple, where it nurses and grows until it is able to be on its own. The koala While koalas spend most of their time in trees, they do move about on the ground at times. The koala baby is about the size of a bumblebee when born. It crawls out of its mother s pouch when it is about 6 months old and is carried on its mother s back until it is about a year old. Koalas have no eyelids or tail. They are often incorrectly called koala bears, but they are not related to bears at all. They eat only the leaves of certain types of eucalyptus trees. The pygmy possum Most possums use their tail as another hand when climbing. The pygmy possum is one of the world s tiniest marsupials. It rests during the day and moves about at night to feed mainly on pollen and nectar. Two of these animals, the kangaroo and the emu, are on the Australian coat of arms. At birth, a baby kangaroo might weigh less than an ounce and be only 1 inch long. The kangaroo Some kangaroos can grow to be 6 feet tall and weigh about 200 pounds. Kangaroos usually move about in the late afternoon or at night, eating grasses and other plants. Kangaroos have strong hind feet and can leap up to 25 feet in one hop and travel as fast as 30 miles per hour. They use their strong tails for balance and support. The wombat Wombats move about at night, eating leaves, roots and bark. The wombat is well known for the long tunnels it burrows. It can grow to be about 3 feet long. The female has a pouch that faces backward so it does not fill with dirt when it is burrowing. The emu At 7 feet tall, the emu is Australia s largest bird. It has thick brown feathers, small wings and long legs. While it cannot fly, it can run as fast as 40 miles per hour. It can also swim. After the female lays eggs, the male hatches them. Because Australia is an island, animals that developed there are quite different from those found in other parts of the world. Millions of years ago, all of the world s land was lumped together as one huge landmass. Over thousands of Years ago years, the continents drifted apart. Australia became isolated. Australia did not have any members of the cat family, hoofed animals, monkeys or apes until they were imported. Since most Australians live in cities, they, like tourists, often see these animals only in zoos. Some animals, such as the koalas, live in specially protected parks or in the wild. Others, such as the red kangaroo, can be seen in the outback, the grassy plains of inland Australia. Today The Mini Page thanks the Australian Embassy for help with this issue.
