Australian Animals"From the Cute to the Deadly" Australian animals are interesting to many travellers hence my decision to include them on this website. The reason for this is that Australia offers many unique and interesting types of animals. In fact, once I got started on this section, I couldn't stop! There really are some amazing ones to choose from. 
Animal FactsAustralia has one of the highest number of animals that are unique to that country alone. This is due to the fact that Australia remained undiscovered for many years so was untouched. It is also to do with the soil and flora over geological time.Australia has one of the lowest number of “placental mammals.” These are mammals that are more closely related to humans. Instead, Australia has an abundance of marsupial mammals, which are animals that carry their young in a pouch. It has more Venomous. than non-venomous snakes. The likelihood of you running into one however is still very slim. It also has one of the largest number of dangerous animals. These include jelly fish, snakes and spiders which could kill you if you were to be unfortunate enough to come across one. I’ve been here 5 years and only had one interesting episode with a spider. That spider was totally harmless but was rather large! It should certainly not stop your travel plans. Just follow some simple guidelines to make your stay as safe as possible. The most popular animals for travellers are the Kangaroo and the Koala Bear. Whilst both can appear cute and cuddly, don’t try approaching either without supervision when out in the wild. They can be vicious and ferocious, with a Kangaroo giving you a good kicking if you are not careful. Dolphins are another great marine mammal that many visitors enjoy seeing here in Australia. For where to see them and more go to Dolphin Facts. Below gives you all you need to know about
