no squirrels in the wild here.

Answer 7

No, we definately have no squirrels, and hardly any of the other animals found in the rest of the world either. We have our own native animals.

Answer 8

Squirrels are not indigenous to Australia.  I am not sure there are any in any zoo's either.

Australia has no native cats or bears (koalas "bears" are not bears) or large grazers (horses, deer etc).

We have marsupials (kangaroo, koala, wombat, echidna, platypus...)

Answer 9

Bahahaha yes.

My friend has cousins who lives in Australia, and they state that they have kangaroos there like we have squirrels...and when they visit, they freak out when they see a squirrel because they hardly ever see them [only when they're here, of course]

Answer 10

True - no squirrels

Answer 11

No squirrels, no hamsters (hamsters are a prohibited import) no bears, no native deer of any kind.

Answer 12

Nope no squirrels.  I remember the first time I went to America and saw a squirrel I nearly shat myself at the site of the thing.  Seeing a racoon was even worse . . . that was just scary!!
