One of my favourite things about Australia is the wide variety of animals you can run into! Living in a city like Toronto, it's not everyday that you get to come across wild and exotic animals. Well, there's Maria's yappy chihuahua downstairs...but it's just not the same.
So I thought I'd share a few pics of some of the rather interesting things (dead or alive) I came across during my trip that was close to the water.
Some type of blowfish. Wineglass Bay, Tassie
Skeletal Remains of a Massive Turtle on an Island off of Western Australia.
I'm not sure what this is. I don't even know how to google for its name. But they hissed.
Me with a baby pig-nosed Turtle.
Starfishes. Freycinet National Park.
If anyone knows the name of that scary black hissing thing, please leave me a comment. I'd love to find out what it is once and for all! Look out for another entry on cool creatures I encountered in Australia. If you're lucky...I may put one up of the renowned Drop Bear!
Hard to tell the scale, how big is that sucker?
ReplyDelete2 to 3 inches or so. When the tides receded, they were everywhere!
