I shall bombard you with my foreignness. Because simply, I am a foreigner. And I say so. D8< And... I try to find non-Reptiles and Mammals. D8 Which will be hard, since that's all we got. And yes, I will give you information from the one site. Because I am lazy. I dunno if this is any good or not though lawl.
Reptiles
Freakin' Frilled Neck Lizard D< Because I love them so~ How could you not, with their silly frill and attitude?
Birds
Kookaburra. How could I not mention this one? I love these things D8 They sit in Gum-trees and on electric wires and laugh at you. If the song is anything to go by.
Cassorwary. Or Emu D8
Marine Life
Scariest beast you'll find in the sea out here. Great White Shark. Like the one from Nemo P= Veeeerrry Scary. They get a lot of people out here.
Mammal
...Platypus. Because they are weird things.
I'd mention Wallabies, Kangaroos, Wallaroo's and Quokka's but we seem to have the two-legged, pouched, hopping kind of pet covered.
Okay! So our Mythology. Because I know you find it... somewhat interesting, right? xD; Thing is, with our mythology (aside from Bunyip, and Yowie), it's all based on stories telling about how simple creatures came to be. I'll shove some information about the Bunyip, I'll do some Dreamtime Stories later (along with Yowie and co.), when I'm not so tired. So, while it's like I'm suggesting normal pets. There's the concept behind it? I dunno how you'll read into it though xD; I'll just put up some of my favourites.
Bunyip
The crittuh of the Billabong (our word for Lagoon really? Kinda, sorta.) People believed they existed for quite some time.
There were so many descriptions of it, it's not funny xD; I'll shove a Wikipedia thing up.
"Descriptions of bunyips vary widely. George French Angus may have collected a description of a bunyip in his account of a "water spirit" from the Moorundi people of the Murray River before 1847, stating it is "much dreaded by them… It inhabits the Murray; but…they have some difficulty describing it. Its most usual form…is said to be that of an enormous starfish"[10] Robert Brough Smyth’s Aborigines of Victoria of 1878 devoted ten pages to the bunyip, but concluded "in truth little is known among the blacks respecting its form, covering or habits; they appear to have been in such dread of it as to have been unable to take note of its characteristics."[11] However, common features in many 19th century newspaper accounts include a dog-like face, dark fur, a horse-like tail, flippers, and walrus-like tusks or horns or a duck like bill.[12]"
