Australian Animals
The list of Australian animals contain many names which are unusual or may sound strange. Apart from the kangaroo, there are many other species of animals found in Australia. Some of Australia's unique animals are the Kangaroo, Koala bear, Kookaburra bird, Wombat, Platypus, Emu, Tasmanian Devil, and the Cape Barren Goose. Ever wondered, which is Australia's national animal? Some may consider it as an easy guess - the Kangaroo, but the truth is Australia has no national animal. Nevertheless, the Australians consider the Red Kangaroo and the Emu as their national animals unofficially. The reason behind giving the Emu this 'title' jointly with the Kangaroo is that the Kangaroo can't walk backwards, while the Emu can!
