About These Animals

Here are some fun facts about the Aussie natives you can find in the word searches:

  • Koalas are furry little tree dwellers, and their most identifiable physical feature is their fluffy exterior, especially their ears.
  • Dingoes are golden or reddish-brown dog-like creatures who roam the Australian outback.
  • Wombats are brown or gray land dwellers, and their most identifiable physical feature is their stout, burrowing bodies.
  • Quokkas are brown little rodent-like creatues, and their most identifiable physical feature is their cute rounded face.
  • Platypuses are very unique little animals with duck-like bills, who lay eggs, but are mammals!
  • Wallabies are brown or gray animals that look a little like small kangaroos.
  • Kangaroos are brown or gray, and larger than wallabies. They’re famous for their hopping and their pouches for their young.
  • Emus are birds that can’t fly, but certainly can run very fast through the Aussie outback.
  • Kookaburras are brown and white birds with large beaks. They have very identifiable laughs that sound like “kooka kooka”.
  • Echidnas are brown or black little creatures with spines like a porcupine.
  • Bilbies are gray or brown little creatures, and their most identifiable physical feature is their large, rabbit-like ears.
  • Possums are gray or brown tree dwellers who come out at night.
  • Cockatoos are generally large white birds, usually with yellow crests – but some are black!
  • Crocodiles roam the inland waterways of Northern Australia – so don’t go swimming!
  • Numbats are reddish-brown little creatures, and their most identifiable physical feature is their striped backs.
  • Galahs are pink and gray birds, and their most identifiable physical feature is their rosy plumage.
  • Sharks swim all around the oceans of Australia and many beaches are patrolled by helicopters to warn surfers if a shark is about.
  • Turtles lay their eggs on the sand in the northern parts of Australia before swimming back out to the ocean.
