There are over 60 different species of kangaroo and their close relatives, with all kangaroos belonging to the super family <i>Macropodoidea</i> (or macropods, meaning &#8216;great-footed&#8217;). The super family is divided into the <i>Macropodidae</i> and the <i>Potoroidae</i> families.</p><p>The <i>Macropodidae</i> (macropod) family includes kangaroos, wallabies, wallaroos, pademelons, tree-kangaroos and forest wallabies. Species in the macropod family vary greatly in size and weight, ranging from 0.5 kilograms to 90 kilograms. The <i>Potoroinae</i> (potoroid) family of kangaroos includes the potoroo, bettong and rat-kangaroo, which live only in Australia.</p><p>Kangaroos of different types live in all areas of Australia, from cold-climate areas and desert plains, to tropical rainforests and beaches.</p><br /><p><b> SNAKE BITES</b></p><p>Pressure-immobilisation is recommended for all Australian venomous snake bites, including sea snakes. This technique was developed in the 1970\'s by Professor Struan Sutherland. Its purpose is to retard the movement of venom from the bite site into the circulation, thus "buying time" for the patient to reach medical care. Research with snake venom has shown that very little venom reaches the blood stream if firm pressure is applied over the bitten area and the limb is immobilised. Pressure-immobilisation was initially developed to treat snakebite, but it is also applicable to bites and stings by some other venomous creatures</p></div>');
