Australian Crocodile smiling for the camera.Crocodiles can stay under water up to 5 hours - they can live for months without eating cause they don't use much energy.
Barking Owl - it barks like a dog to communicate: "this is my territory"
Famous myth: When European explorers asked what this strange looking animal was called, a native Australian replied "Kangaroo" meaning, "I don't understand your question"...and so the explorers thought this was this hopping creature's name. Fact: the Aboriginal word 'gangurru' was used to describe the Grey Kangaroo.
A very friendly Emu.
Koalas sleep about 18 - 19 hours a day.
Very tired, head-feels-heavy, must sleep.
Tired but smily wombat... a cuddly marsupial similar to koalas except it doesn't climb trees.
The elusive platypus using its nostrils on the top of its bill to breathe.
Elegantly (?) sitting, the endangered Cassowary is a very important seed disperser in the rain forest: they eat fallen fruit (the whole thing) and distribute seeds across the jungle floor via excrement.
'Sprite', the superstar koala. Quite a memorable moment.
Tasmanian Devils are sadly endangered because of a cancer called Devil Facial Tumor Disease.
Kookaburra sits on an old gum tree...waiting for possible prey such as mice or snakes.
When it was feeding time koalas were alert and moved quickly to claim their eucalyptus feast. Koalas can actually get quite active and are capable of leaping from treetop to treetop.
Rainbow pigeons are very pretty..!
Taking a stroll...

Taking a stroll... Emus are docile, curious and easily tamed in captivity. They can sprint at 50 km/hr.
