Possum.
Three of the most common Australian animals are the kangaroo, the koala and the platypus.
Some samples of Australian mammals are the kangaroo, koala, and platypus.
If you mean the national animal, then unofficially it is the kangaroo. Australia has no mascot, but has used different animals as mascots for the Olympic and Commonwealth Games. In 2000, the mascots for the Summer Olympic Games in Sydney were Syd the Platypus, Millie the Echidna, and Olly the Kookaburra. In 1982, Matilda the Kangaroo was the mascot for the Commonwealth Games in Brisbane.
The platypus is found only in Australia. Kangaroos are native to Australia as well, but tree kangaroos are found also on the island of New Guinea. Some common wallaby species (which are smaller members of the kangaroo family) have been introduced to countries such as New Zealand and Scitland.
Not an ordinary one, but Perry the Platypus can.
Both the platypus and kangaroo are unique to Australia and exhibit interesting adaptations to their environments. They are mammals, meaning they share characteristics like being warm-blooded and having fur, with the kangaroo being a marsupial that carries its young in a pouch, while the platypus is one of the few monotremes that lay eggs. Additionally, both animals have specialized limbs: the kangaroo has powerful hind legs for jumping, and the platypus has webbed feet for swimming. Despite their differences in lifestyle and reproduction, they highlight the incredible diversity of Australian wildlife.
Kangaroo originates from the word, ganurra - used by the aborigines from Queensland, Australia
Do you mean platypus? Yes, they do. They are found only in Australia.
The platypus is endemic to eastern Australia. It is not found in Western Australia at all.
