Why Animals Don’t Cross This Invisible Border 🚧 Wallace Line 😱

🌍 Did you know there’s an invisible line in the Malay Archipelago that separates two entirely different worlds of wildlife? 🌏 This boundary, called the Wallace Line, runs from Bali to the southern Philippines and marks a stark contrast between Asian animals like rhinos 🦏 and tigers 🐅 on one side, and Australian creatures like kangaroos 🦘 and koalas 🐨 on the other. But why does this happen? Millions of years ago, tectonic plate movements 🌋 created a deep sea strait 🌊 along the Wallace Line, preventing species from migrating and allowing evolution to take different paths. Even birds 🐦 and fish 🐠, capable of traveling long distances, rarely cross this line, adapting to their own unique ecosystems. The fascinating story behind the Wallace Line, a natural divide that continues to shape the biodiversity of our planet. 🦘🐅🌿 #wallaceline #invisibleline #naturemysteries #biodiversity #malayarchipelago #bali #philippines #biologicalboundary #ecozone #asia #australia #tectonicplates #border #learn #map #maps #geography #history #viralfact #facts #fyp #interestingplace #geoshorts #historyshorts #shorts #uniquegeography #learning #viral #viralmap #maplovers #geographyeducation #geographygeeks
