Australian animals

Kangaroos are my absolute favorite animals. I've always loved them and I have several kangaroo stuffed animals. I always go to zoos that have kangaroos and I actually got to feed and pet a bunch of them at a zoo I went to a few years ago. I don't know what it is about them, but I just love them. They are adorable.

I was aware of Koalas and Kangaroos . But seeing Penguins in Australia ? That must have been a unique experience . As for my fav ;I like Koalas - they look so cute .

I have little knowledge about Australian native animals. By far I love kangaroos the most. Here in my place I do find kangaroos in the local zoo. I like watching the mother kangaroo carry her baby hopping along the path. I am sorry I couldn’t have time to write more as I am going to a mountain resort in another state for vacation. I would spend about a week there. The taxi is waiting outside ... bye...

I don't think i have ever thought about a favorite australian animal. Anyway, I like koalas and kangaroos, among many others. Due to Australia being an island, the isolation for centuries brought unique species, and nowadays we can all enjoy them, which is great :)

I love the kangaroos too. I once had the chance to hug a kangaroo from the back. It felt really soft and cuddly but I could not hold that guy for a long time as he started to hop around after that but that was really fun. I was actually afraid to approach it form the front after seeing some cartoons where a kangaroo can punch you in the face. Do they really do that?

I have never been to Australia but i am surely fascinated at the kind of animals that are endemic to the continent... but i am mostly fascinated with the Koala bear... although it is not actually a bear but i think the word kinda became stuck to it... i think they are very cute and peaceful creatures... it is just to bad that their habitat is slowly dying out... i hope a lot is being done to save this unique creature...

Well living in Australia myself, what can I say! Must admit I do like the Kangaroo but when it is hopping beside your car as you are driving along and you just hope it does not cross over in front of you can be a little bit scary. They are not too far away from us. You sometimes cannot see our backyard (and it is quite big) for the birds that try and feed off the land. The Galahs come in massive forms and have been known to watch and count them as they stand still long enough. But must say my favourite are the Fairy Penguins and if you visited Phillip Island that is a good place to see them.

Kaolas are my favorite Australian animal. As they look so cute. They are very lazy and they are just so adorable.

Yes i agree that Australia being a large island and a continent by itself has really interesting animals! my favourite is a platypus - I've seen them on tv, and also have 2 soft toy platypuses. I even love how their name sounds. The kangaroos and koalas are the common symbols for Australia and feature in their sports teams as well. Lots of tourist products made with these animals. But i've heard that koalas smell really bad!! There are also wombats! you forgot these very cute though rather pig like creatures.

I love austrailian animals! They are so unique. I think the echidna may be one of my favorite animals. x3

being an australian i do love the kangaroo.i did a house call on a patient who lived in a reserve and when i drove in about 20 kangaroos just hopped beside the car.it was a amazing experience cheers sue

Probably the platypus; I've photographed them in Tasmania and parts of New South Wales, but they are very difficult to capture with a camera; I'm rather fond of cassowaries, shinglebacks and blue tongues, too.
