Here are some neighbors to the platypus
Kelly suggests the Frill Neck Lizard
They are not harmful to man!
Their frill can be "activated" by thought alone! Usually out of fright!
September is Frill Neck Lizard Lovers month! (because this is when they mate)
Nobody seems to agree whether they're called Frill Neck Lizards, Frilled Lizards,
Frill Necked Lizards, Frilled Neck Lizards, or even the moronic, Frilled Necked Lizards!
Look to the now-defunct two-cent Australian coin for a depiction of this animal... in relief!
Might I interest you in the wombat?
Wombats are the largest burrowers of all! Name a bigger one, I dare you!
Do not confuse wombats with numbats, another Australian marsupialoid!
A wombat is extremely strong! They can outdig a man with a shovel!
They use biting to express their feelings!
They are the most playful marsupials. This includes head butting, biting, running away to solicit a chase, and the indulging of shoulder rolls and somersaults!
Incidentally, playfulness is considered a measure of intelligence!
Also, the wombat's brain entirely fills its skull, and it has many surface convolutions. My point: Wombats are smarter than koalas!
They don't eat much! Just like some grass, but that's like it!
Let us never forget the kookaburra?
They refuse to build nests!
They are also known as the "laughing jackasses"!
Water is not in their diet!
They seem to like to wake people up!
The aborigines believed that any child who insulted a kookaburra would grow an extra slanting tooth!
They won't eat fish!
Frill Necked Lizards, Frilled Neck Lizards, or even the moronic, Frilled Necked Lizards!
