I’m one of the two mammals that
can lay eggs, I have two names,
live near water in a long burrow, an
excellent swimmer, have a bill and
webbed feet like a duck
I can hop up to 9 meters and travel
up 50 km per hour, I have a pouch in
front with a joey who stays there for
8 months, my new born baby is only
3 cm long, I can be high as a man
and small as a rabbit
My body is covered with hair and
sharp spines which I use for
protection, I use a sticky tongue
(35cm long) to pick up ants, I sleep
during winter, can live up to 50
years, I’m a relative to platypus
I live in forests and eat grass and
plants, I’m the largest burrowing
animal in the world, can grow up to
1m, I’m furry and carry my baby in a
pouch
My name means “drinks no water”,
I’m a good swimmer and can run
quickly, I live in trees and spend my
day eating, climbing and sleeping, I
can eat 1kg of eucalyptus leaves per
day and never drink water
I have large paws and short hair, I
can be seen all over Australia, I eat
small mammals, insects, lizards,
reptiles, I do not bark like dogs but
howl
You can see small wings but I can’t
fly though I’m the largest bird in
Australia, I can run up to 50
km/hour, I get angry easily
I’m called so because of the sounds
I produce and my aggressive
behaviour, I’m in danger of
extinction because of cancer
I make loud, long calls that sound
like laughter, I live mainly in
Tasmania, my babies are born
naked and blind
There are 50.000 of my relatives in
Australia now, you can get to know
us in parks and on farms, but look
out as we can hop up to 4m high,
