The Australian continent's unique geography, plant, and wildlife are the result of intense isolation. Australia is Earth's largest island, and its life has developed in solitude over millions of years. With wild extremes of climate, plant life and living creatures - Australia is as close to prehistoric as any area you could find on the planet.
The Baltimore Aquarium worked on it's expansion plan in 2005 and decided to display the climate change and variety of animals in Australia which is known of it's intense climates. This exhibit won a national award for the best exhibit in North America by the Association of Zoo and Aquariums in 2008.
John Seyjagat is the curator of the exhibit and explains getting animals from Australia was not an easy task. They went to Australia, worked with different organizations, Australian and American governments and after that they were able to bring these animals to Baltimore.
