Animals of Australia
The dingo, although cute on the outside, is really quite vicious. Although many have tried to domesticate this beautiful, coyote like creature, it has been a failure, as dingo's are naturally vicious animals, and have been known to kill people, particularly young children.
The kangaroo is another famous creature in Australia. Kangaroos are well known to protect their young, and hit people because they got to close to them and their young. Kangaroos also cannot hop backwards, only forwards. Kangaroos are known to hop in roads, they are like the deer in North America - if you live close enough, you can see them everywhere.
Koalas are gentle and lazy creatures. Koalas are herbivore marsupials. Their young hang onto the adult's back. The closest living relative of the koala is the wombat.
