I've always had to describe the cassowary to my foreign friends as 'if you cross an emu with a peacock'. My language is usually a little more colourful, but they always understand. A French friend didn't believe me when I told him to stay away from the cassowary - until the bird broke his camera and cut his arm. Boy can run! LOL.
I was hoping to see a possum, too. Until I began taking quizzes on this site I never knew Australia has an animal called a possum, as opposed to our American opossum which most of us call a possum anyway.
Still, nice quiz
