Top: Harriet the Giant Galapagos Land Tortoise. Harriet was born around 1830 and was brought to England by Charles Darwin. After a short time in England, Harriet moved onto a few homes in Australia. She lived at Australia Zoo for her last two decades before she died in 2006. Seeing Harriet in 2003 was amazing as she was living history and such a magnificent creature.
Second Top: Dingo.
Dingoes are Australia's wild dogs. The difference between them and domestic dogs is that they don't bark, they only howl.
Third Top: Tasmanian Devil.
Tasmanian Devils are the largest living carnivorous marsupial in Australia. They have very sharp claws and individual, distinctive white marks on their chests. They are also very fast! This was the best picture I could get!
Bottom: Koala.
Koala's are marsupials and not bears! Koala's main source of food are eucalypts, which do not give them much energy and that is why they can sleep up to 20 hours a day!
