I thought Dolphins were mammals not animals anyway. However if it has an Aussie accent fair cop, lol.
Wombat
Cockatoos. (sp)
possums
Wallabys.
Like the colourful birdlife generally.

Re: Favorite Aussie Animal
I could name lots of fave birds, but the theme seems largely mammal-based, so I'd have to plum for my favourite Aussie siting so far, which would be Platypus!

Re: Favorite Aussie Animal
the most awesome creature you'll possible see in oz is the shark,can't believe
nobodys mentioned them,as for dolphins you can see them all up the west coast of scotland throughout the year,i have even seen them in the clyde coast 45mins away from glasgow,i have to admit though the quakkas on
rotto are also great as are the parrots,black swans,pelicans,wombats,
kangaroos and kookaburras,lets face it they're all part of what makes oz
an exciting and interesting place to live,oh and of course the weather.
