Why is the wildlife of Australia considered unique in comparison to other countries?

Short Note

Solution

The wildlife of Australia is unique. The continent separated from the main landmass about 200 million years ago. As a result, its animal life evolved quite differently from that of the rest of the world.
Among the unique animals found here are marsupials are— mammals that carry their young ones in a pouch formed by a fold of skin near the stomach. The pouches contain the mammary glands.
