What animal did aborigines worship?

Answer 1

The Aborigines ate all the native animals and birds, from kangaroos, koalas and wombats to emus, cockatoos and budgies. Those that lived in coastal areas or near creeks and rivers fished for whatever swam there, including turtles. Goannas, or perentie, as well as snakes, were common fare as well. Molluscs, clams, crabs - all these were eaten by the Aborigines.

Answer 2

Some Aboriginal groups in Australia worship the kangaroo as a sacred animal due to its importance in their culture and as a source of food. The kangaroo holds spiritual significance and is often depicted in rock art and Dreamtime stories.

Answer 3

They don't worship animals. Aboriginal people (and I am one) don't worship the sun or the moon or animals, that is frankly insulting. We hold these things as sacred. They all carry different meanings and powers. And unlike the western bible, we do not think we have dominion over them. As human beings we think of animals as being in our care. So is the earth although it is our mother. So aborigines of Australia are the same in this belief and see all animals as sacred. The crocodile, the kangaroo all hold sacred powers...that they teach us how to survive and keep us alive by feeding us of their bodies. The rabbit, on the other hand would not be sacred as it was introduced by Europeans, and devastated the land. Anything against the great design of nature is not sacred. Rocks are, but man made buildings are not, unless they are designed ecologically and with a natural style.
