Funniest Australian animal?

[Ayeka]

I've always liked the platypus, although the Dugong is cool too, but loses points for looking almost exactly like a Manatee

"Imagine, if you will, a scrotum, with the face of a small cow"

Speaking of Bo Selecta, that echidna reminds me of Cocknose froim series 3...

My vote goes for those little guys that scamper around in the trees, with big sticking up ears and big eyes that glow in the dark. Very timid creatures. Can't remember what they're called though

these? they're apparently called "tarsiers" btw

whoa.

You realize that platypus is actually flying through the air? He's catching a rabid eagle in mid-flight, that's how much of a mean cunt he is.

I remember watching some special on them once, how they have one of the most potent nerve toxins in the animal kingdom, on some nasty claws on their back legs. Saw some old fucker with a ruined arm due to one, and all I could think was "you got your ass kicked by one of those stupid duck beaver things!?!

Nah, fraid not. My dudes have the similar face but are longer, bigger. I'm really not sure what else to compare them too

That cat looks way too happy btw...

thats intense.

bump for topicality

I voted Dugong, mainly because of the 'I've got it all figured out' facial expression in the pic.

now here's one kick ass animal you've forgotten: the tasmanian tiger. i know it's said to be extinct but it has been seen by farmers etc, so it's not certain. and let's hope there are some left since they're pretty damn spiffy: stripes, huge maw, a pouch and a very nice tail:

winnar i'd say

I posted a video of one on this here RC at some point, to lazy to find it but if you do it rules! Makes you realize that they are even more baddass then previously thought when you see them in motion, even in a cage.
