Wildlife on Kangaroo Island

The variety of wildlife we got to see on Kangaroo Island was spectacular. Kangaroos everywhere, possums, echidnas, Koalas, Sea Lions, Seals, Wedge Tail eagles.

Heres the cute little Koala we spotted up a tree just outside our cottege. We were lucky to catch him awake - Koalas sleep for 20 hours of the day sometimes! ...



This spiky thing is an Echidna. Those spikes are really sharp! He's the only animal that can dig straight down and the second we gathered around him that's exactly what he did. A couple of minutes later he had completely buried himself. Not exactly a lightning getaway, but very clever nonetheless.




Literally hundreds of Kangaroos passed through the field in front of the cottege, here's just some of them ...





Then a little further down the coast of the island there was lot of sea lions and seals - pretty cool!
