A small insight into Australia's native animals

Australia's Native Animals

Male&nbsp;Platypuses Are Venomous Mammals. During mating season, male platypuses become very protective. Their venom is lethal to smaller animals and severely sore for humans.

&nbsp;Wombats aren’t as small as you might think! An adult wombat usually grows to about&nbsp;a metre&nbsp;long – the same as a medium-sized dog. They can weigh up to&nbsp;40 kilograms,

Kangaroos can't move backwords. Because of their long feet and large tail, kangaroos can’t walk or hop backwards

The dingo is not a dog breed. They are semi-domesticated which means they are half dog and half wolf.

An infant koala is called a Joey, just like a baby kangaroo.
