#9 - Cool animals down under by Linda FullerKookaburras sing songs of the thylacine
Ancient predator of jacks and jills
Now extinct, these meateating marsupials
Gave the kangaroos a hopping headache
All the pouch’ed creatures, with their neonates
Riding pocketed, ensconced in secret
Omnivores and herbivores and carnivores
Opossums, wombats, bandicoots, koalas
