picture info	Macropodidae Macropodidae is a Family (biology), family of marsupials that includes kangaroos, Wallaby, wallabies, tree-kangaroos, wallaroos, pademelons, quokkas, and several other groups. These genera are allied to the suborder Macropodiformes, containing other macropods, and are native to the Australia (continent), Australian continent (the mainland and Tasmania), New Guinea and nearby islands. Description Although Propleopus, omnivorous kangaroos lived in the past, these were not members of the family Macropodidae; modern macropods are generally Herbivore, herbivorous. Some are Browsing (herbivory), browsers, but most are Grazing, grazers and are equipped with appropriately specialised teeth for cropping and grinding up fibrous plants, in particular grasses and Cyperaceae, sedges. Modern omnivorous kangaroos generally belong to a different family (for example, the Musky rat-kangaroo). In general, macropods have a broad, straight row of cutting teeth at the front of the mouth, no Canine t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Megapode The megapodes, also known as incubator birds or mound-builders, are stocky, medium-large, chicken-like birds with small heads and large feet in the family Megapodiidae. Their name literally means "large foot" and is a reference to the heavy legs and feet typical of these terrestrial birds. All are browsers, and all except the malleefowl occupy wooded habitats. Most are brown or black in color. Megapodes are superprecocial, hatching from their eggs in the most mature condition of any bird. They hatch with open eyes, bodily coordination and strength, full wing feathers, and downy body feathers, and are able to run, pursue prey and, in some species, fly on the day they hatch. Etymology From the Greek ( = ''great'') and , ( = ''foot''). Description Megapodes are medium-sized to large terrestrial birds with large legs and feet with sharp claws. Megapodes are of three kinds: scrub fowl, brush turkeys, and mallee fowl or lowan. The largest members of the clade are the species of ...
