Creatures I encountered in Australia...(part 1)

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!
