15 Super Cool Animals That You May Find Only In Australia
Exotic wildlife is the first thing that strikes our mind when
we think of Australia. Australia is home for a wide range of animal species. Australian
flora and fauna is unusual and exotic. The animal and bird species we get to
see in Australia are typically not found in other parts of the world.
Let’s have a quick look at 15 of Australia’s super cool
animals!
Galahs are too cute miss out on! Galahs are cockatoos, found everywhere
in Australia. These pink and grey colored cockatoos live and move around in the
forests as flocks. These bids are quite noisy, and known for their playfulness.
Galahs mostly eat seeds, grains, insects and worms.
Bilbies resemble rabbits, and are known by the name ‘rabbit-bandicoots’.
These are Australian native animals,
found mostly in Central Australia. This is an endangered species and their
population has drastically come down in the last few years, mainly because of
the habitat loss. Bilbies live in burrows, and eat seeds, fruits, and insects.
Dingos are Australian wild dogs that grow up to four feet in
length, and weigh up to 30 pounds. These wild dogs usually have reddish-brown
fur with white patches. Though Dingos relate more to a dog than a fox, they
don’t bark like dogs. Dingoes actually howl like foxes. Surprisingly, dingoes live
both on a vegetarian and non-vegetarian diet. They hunt other animals in the
forest like kangaroos for food, and eat fruits as well.
