Although they may appear friendly they are wild animals that should be treated with caution and respect. It is possible to undertake boat trips to view dolphins in the wild. The two main ports for such trips are New Quay on the Ceredigion coastline and St Davids in Pembrokeshire. Various companies offer boat trips of the beautiful West Wales coastline, which allow passengers to survey not only the resident bottlenose dolphins but also porpoises, seals and wild birds.
Plus it's bloody freezing in Wales!

It is hardly an Australian animal
We even have Wallabies living wild in the Peak district
Does that make them British?
Mind you the sea is cold in Wales

We saw DBPs in QLD, there are quite a few good places to see them.
They are a lot smaller than you might think, maybe just 35 cms - 50 cms long.

I like all those animals, but I actually find the Gecko's quite cute too, not to mention handy for getting rid of spiders etc

Tassie devils are great if not a little grouchy. I hope they survive the horrible virus that is devastating them at the moment.

Actually parrots are better with cherry stones - a friend and I used to spit the stones from a frst floor window, and every single one was eagerly pounced on in mid-air by a bunch of Rosellas!
