I was really looking forward to searching for wildlife in Australia. I knew we were going to be there for at least a month and in different habitats, so I was hoping to find a lot of the wildlife, well, in the wild. As I mentioned in another post I really enjoy seeking out wildlife and feel that I have a knack for it. With that in mind a created a list of animals to pursue, with some of the animals being added later as a I heard about them while on our trip.
That list:
- Kangaroo
- Koala
- Tasmanian Devil
- Crocodile
- Platypus
- Shark
- Sea turtle
- Cassowary
- Echidna
- Quokka
- Wallaby
- Dingo
- Goanna
- Brumby
I can happily report that I got to see all all of them, but two,tasmanian devil and quokka, we didn’t see in the wild. It was such a joy to see all these unique creatures in their natural habitats living out life. Probably the greatest thrill of all the encounters was having a blacktip reef shark swim under us as we were snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef.
Some of our pictures of the various creatures around Australia.
Lovely pictures!
Thank you!
Well done. Believe me, you DO NOT want to encounter a Tasmanian Devil in the wild.
Ha, guess I never thought about it that way.
