what animals are in Australia?

Answer 1

tons of animals. Kangaroos, koalas, emus, cassowaries, kookaburras are some of the native ones.

They have some of the most dangerous animals in the worls, including the most poisonous, snakes, spiders, and jellyfish in the world. Sharks and crocodiles wouldn't be too fun to run into either.

Rabbits, alpacas, camels, and foxes have been brought over and are doing quite well. Some to the extent of being pests (just take for example the rabbit proof fence)

Answer 2

Australia is home to many unique animals. Their most famous creatures are Koala Bears and Kangaroos. Some of my personal favorites are the Wombat, the Tasmanian Devil, the Wallaby (a smaller version of the Kangaroo basically), Dingos, The Platypus, and the Emu.

Australia is also home to 10 out of the top 11 most poisonous snakes in the world, and its waters house many dangerous Sharks and Jellyfish - not to mention crocodiles.

Some animals that are everywhere in Australia that you wouldn't really think of are Opposums, Rabbits, and Bats.

Answer 3

Dingoes, Kangaroos, Sydney Funnelweb Spiders, Eastern Brown Snakes, Fierce Snakes, Saltwater Crocodiles, Box Jellyfish, couple of types of stingrays, Great White Sharks, and there's some type of killer ants there too I'm not sure if it's Bulldog Ants or Jackjumper Ants but they're not to be tangled with!

Answer 4

Besides humans, I assume:

"Australia is also home to many unique animal species such as the platypus, which is an aquatic, furred mammal with a bill like that of a duck. The Platypus belongs to an animal group known as monotreme's. Another animal belonging to this group is the spiny anteater, or echidna. Most native mammals are marsupials. These include koalas, kangaroos, possums, flying foxes and the ferocious Tasmanian Devil. Australia also contains many varieties of crocodile, they are found in the tropical zone of Australia and
they inhabit swamps, rivers and can also be found in the ocean near a river mouth. Lizards are very common, there are over 500 different species including Goannas, Geckos and Dragons. The Australian continent is also home to the most venomous snakes and spiders in the world, as well the deadly Box Jelly Fish.

Australia is populated by many colourful bird species such as parrots, budgerigars, Rosella's, galahs, finches and cockatoos. The Emu is Australia's largest bird and is related to the Ostrich."


"The fauna of Australia consists of a huge variety of unique animals; some 83% of mammals, 89% of reptiles, 90% of fish and insects and 93% of amphibians that inhabit the continent are endemic to Australia.[1] This high level of endemism can be attributed to the continent's long geographic isolation, tectonic stability, and the effects of an unusual pattern of climate change on the soil and flora over geological time. A unique feature of Australia's fauna is the relative scarcity of native placental mammals. Consequently the marsupials, a group of mammals that raise their young in a pouch, including the macropods, possums and dasyuromorphs, occupy many of the ecological niches that elsewhere in the world are filled by placental mammals. Australia is home to the two of the five known extant species of monotremes, and has numerous venomous species, which include the Platypus, spiders, scorpions, octopus, jellyfish, molluscs, stonefish, and stingrays. Uniquely, Australia has more venomous than non-venomous species of snakes.
The settlement of Australia by Indigenous Australians more than 40,000 years ago, and by Europeans from 1788, has had a significant impact on the fauna. Hunting, the introduction of non-native species, and land-management practices involving the modification or destruction of habitats have led to numerous extinctions. Some examples include the Paradise Parrot, Pig-footed Bandicoot and the Broad-faced Potoroo. Unsustainable land use continues to threaten the survival of many species. In recognition of the threats to the survival of its fauna, Australia has passed wide-ranging federal and state legislation and established numerous protected areas. However, many people believe that these measures fail to address the imminent threats to the survival of many species."
