Nature, also called "material world", "material universe", "natural world", or "natural universe", refers to the phenomena of the physical world. Nature includes all matter and energy in its essential form. The English word derives from a Latin term, natura. Natura is related to the Latin words relating to "birth", while physis relates to Greek words for "growth". The concept of nature as a whole, the cosmos, is a later development that is particularly strong in modern science.
In scale, "nature" is now understood to include everything from the universal to the subatomic. This includes all things animal, plant, and mineral; all natural resources and events (hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes). It also includes the behaviour of living animals, and processes associated with inanimate objects - the "way" that particular types of things change.

Australia (Cairns rainforest 2004), Sweet and Sleepy - Although koalas were an available food for Australian arborigens, they remained abundant before the arrival of Europeans (first fleet in 1788). Ten years later, John Price was the first European to record koalas near Sydney at the Blue Mountains. In 1816, koala was given its scientific name, "phascolarctos cinereus", meaning "ash grey pouched bear". Later on, it was discovered that the koala was not a bear, but a marsupial. Marsupials give birth to immature young and carry them in a pouch.
