Once upon a time, tens of thousands of years ago, there were marsupial cows. They are now extinct. Along with the majority of all marsupial species to exist.
Now, you may be thinking to yourself "Wow, how fascinating!" but chances are you don't care about the marsupial cow, hippo sized or not. In fact, personally, reading about this cow made me fall straight asleep... at 8 pm. Thrilling.
I will admit that although this class started out being really interesting, it has gotten progressively more dull. I really would rather learn about bugs. Luckily I have a whole class devoted to that topic. It's what's keeping my brain alive right now. Bugs are fascinating.
Marsupial cows are not.
Stinging plants: Also interesting.
Extinct marsupial dogs: Not so much.
Sadly the most interesting things about the Australian environment are those which I am not learning in class, and thus have no reason to study. Something is wrong with that picture. Oh well, I doubt it's a problem that can be solved within the limits of "education".
