Question

Have you ever noticed that aside from zoos, you don't see kangaroos, wombats, and koala bears outside of Australia? This is because there is a trench that is a "biogeographical transition zone between Asian and Australian flora and fauna". What is the name of that trench?

Answer 1

Wallace Line

Step-by-step explanation:

Wallace Line is a boundary line which is a transitional zone between Asia and Australia. This boundary drawn by the British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace in 1859. This boundary restricts the transferring organisms such as flora and fauna from Australia to Asia. So that's why kangaroos, wombats, and koala bears are only present in Australia not in the continent of Asia.
