Odd facts about Australian animals

  1. The duckbill platypus is a mammal but does not have nipples; it secretes milk through its skin.
  2. Dingoes in the wild don’t bark. However they are physically capable of barking and will learn to do it if they are around dogs.
  3. Kangaroos have three vaginas.
  4. At one time Australia had well over half a billion wild rabbits, every one of them the descendant of rabbits brought by European settlers in the 18th and 19th centuries.
  5. The duckbill platypus was originally thought to be a hoax when the first dead specimen of one was sent to Great Britain.
  6. The soldiers with machine guns in The Emu War were not as effective as offering farmer’s bounties for them; farmers killed 57,000 emus in 6 months of 1934 alone
  7. Wombats were often called badgers by early settlers because of their size and habit. Because of this, localities such as Badger Creek, Victoria, and Badger Corner, Tasmania, were named after the wombat.
  8. When a Tasmanian devil kills its prey, it will eat the entire animal, including fur and bones.
  9. Yowie is one of several names given to a mythical hominid, reputed to live in the Australian wilderness.
  10. The male duckbill platypus has venom strong enough to can kill a small dog, or cause excruciating pain among humans.
  11. Despite its scary name (and scarier sound), the Tasmanian devil is largely a scavenger and lives mostly on carrion. The devils were once widely hunted and killed by ranchers, who regarded them as a threat to livestock, but are now tolerated, as they dispose of dead animal carcasses before blowflies can get to them.
