5 INCREDIBLE ANIMALS FOUND ONLY IN AUSTRALIA

Weedy Sea Dragon

The Weedy Sea Dragon is an impressive creature with leafy appendages that camouflage its body into their native environment. They conceal themselves further by swimming in a swaying motion, which makes them appear similar to seaweed.

Quokka

The Quokka is one of the cuter marsupials throughout the country. They are one of the smallest species of wallaby, but are vulnerable to predators on the mainland, including foxes and dingoes. They are primarily found along the protected offshore areas such as Rottnest Island and Bald Island.
And they are always smilling,so cute.

Numbat

The Numbat appears rather similar to a cross between a chipmunk, squirrel, and an anteater, oddly enough. Numbats are only found throughout Australia, and are generally exclusively active only during the day-time.

Spotted Handfish

The Spotted Handfish are known for using their fins to walk instead of swimming like a normal fish. They prefer to live along the rocky or sandy sea floors surrounding Australia, and tend to feast on small crustaceans and worms.

Flying Fox

The Flying Fox is a terrifying animal, as it is the largest bat known to man. Their wingspan is up to 3 feet. They play a vital role in the health of the ecosystems where they are located, however, making them wanted.
