An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Australian wildlife consists of a huge variety of 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. It is a well known fact that of the 1.1 million species in Australia precisely 1.2 million are able and usually desiring to kill you. A famous Australian Song, and the current anthem of the Australian Tourism Commission, is quite appropriate for the situation -- Come to Australia (You might not get Killed).

  • Australia has, without a doubt, some of the strangest animals around. We have poisonous toads that didn't do the job, roos, koalas, a host of not-so-cute and incredibly deadly creatures, and some of the world's only egg-laying mammals. Aren't we lucky? See also: Aussie Mythical Beasts

Interesting note: Perhaps due to the beauty and strangeness of native Australian wildlife and plants, Australia has a very large population of environmental activists -- the sane and pragmatic kind, not the PETA kind (mostly). The late Steve Irwin and his family are prominent environmentalists who use their shows and zoo to promote the protection of wildlife the world over. See also: Aussie Mythical Beasts
