fact for 24 dec 2008

 A brolga is an Australian crane, also known as "Native Companions".Brolgas are most famous for their elegant, graceful mating dance. A couple will spread their large wings whilst facing each other and jump, dance and shake their heads!! At the same time they will often make loud trumpeting calls. There is an Aboriginal legend that says girls who do too much dancing and not enough working, are changed into brolgas. (Since brolgas are like to dance a lot!)

A spider has transparent blood.
