I've always had to describe the cassowary to my foreign friends as 'if you cross an emu with a peacock'. My language is usually a little more colourful, but they always understand. A French friend didn't believe me when I told him to stay away from the cassowary - until the bird broke his camera and cut his arm. Boy can run! LOL.

Huh, I knew Kookaburra, but I couldn't get Kakapo out of my head for some reason.

Level 77

Mar 22, 2018

I knew Kookaburra too, but couldn't spell it for the life of me!

Level 78

Feb 22, 2022

I kept thinking "cucaracha"

Level 72

cookabura? No, that didn't work. Cucoobura? Nope. Kukabora? Nu huh. Alright, I give up.

100%. Too easy. Being Australian helps, I guess. :-D

I'm under the impression it's spelled "Perentie". I could be wrong though.

When Fozzie Bear is in Australia does he say, "Quokka, quokka, quokka?"

Level 89

Well done.

I couldn't remember the name for wombat; I kept thinking wallaby. Shouldn't irukandji be accepted for the box jellyfish?

Level 75

Jul 12, 2018

I thought that too for the irukandji.

Level 88

Jul 12, 2018

Doesn't irukandji just refer to the species of box jelly that's no bigger than the end of your little finger?

Level 52

irukandji is a completely different species of deadly jellyfish.

https://themachine.science/irukandji-vs-box-jellyfish/

I would rather meet a box jellyfish than irukandji.

No wallaby? No possum?

Level 73

Jul 12, 2018

I was hoping to see a possum, too. Until I began taking quizzes on this site I never knew Australia has an animal called a possum, as opposed to our American opossum which most of us call a possum anyway.

Level 67

Jul 12, 2018

We do! We have 23 different species of possums in Australia!

100% in less than sixty seconds, but being Australian helps. The only one that had me scratching my head for five seconds was the quokka.

A perentie is usually called a goanna or monitor.

You have got to give it to our friends down in Australia, they have some wonderfully unique, fierce animals on their continent.

I've heard of the quokka once in my life, it's not surprising I got 14/15

Still, nice quiz

It's always really funny playing these animals by picture quizzes because there's a lot of animals I've never heard of but also it's interesting to see what animals actually look like compared to their animated counterparts. For this quiz it was the Tasmanian Devil.
