Some countries are excellent for seeing native wildlife. Perhaps one of the best is Australia because it has unique wildlife. It has kangaroos, koalas, emus and cockatoos. In Belize they have manatees that are protected, pelicans, crocodiles, nurse sharks and sting rays.
Have you been another country and seen any native wildlife?
If not would you like to go somewhere to see a particular type of animal?

Even I'm not yet gone to Australia, I also admire its amazing animal species such as kangaroo, I read it somewhere there are species of kangaroo too, the Red Kangaroo, the Antilopine Kangaroo, and the Eastern and Western Grey Kangaroo of the Macropus genus. The family also includes many smaller species which include the wallabies, tree-kangaroos, wallaroos, pademelons and the Quokka, some 63 living species in all. Kangaroos are endemic to the continent of Australia, while the smaller macropods are found in Australia and New Guinea. In general, larger kangaroos have adapted much better to changes wrought to the Australian landscape by humans and though many of their smaller cousins are endangered, they are plentiful. They are not farmed to any extent, but wild kangaroos are shot for meat, sport, and to protect grazing land for sheep and cattle. Although there is some controversy, harvesting kangaroos for meat has many environmental and health benefits over sheep or cows grazed for meat. All about Kangaroo thing is amazing, I like that animal.
