All kangaroos have short hair, powerful hind legs, small forelimbs, big feet and a long tail. They have excellent hearing and keen eyesight. Depending on the species, their fur coat can be red, grey or light to dark brown. Their muscular tail is used for balance when hopping, and as another limb when moving about.

Koalas are well-known for their large round head, big furry ears and big black nose. Their fur is usually grey-brown in colour with white fur on the chest, inner arms, ears and bottom. They have no fur on their nose or the palms of their paws.

It is characterised by its stocky and muscular build, black fur, pungent odour, extremely loud and disturbing screech, keen sense of smell, and ferocity when feeding. The Tasmanian devil's large head and neck allow it to generate among the strongest bites per unit body mass of any extant predatory land mammal.

Tiger Snakes are thick-bodied solid snakes; they are usually around 1 m long but may grow up to 1.5 m. Their head is slightly wider and distinct from their neck. Tiger Snakes main body colour ranges from grey-brown to black.
