Reply to comment by Cinemaphreak in TIL: raccoons are native to North America, having been introduced elsewhere only in the 20th century. by acequark

Australian friend said the same thing about kangaroos. He said it's like seeing a deer.

I went to a wildlife park in Australia where I was able to get my picture taken with a koala, see a wombat's butt (it was sleeping), get bitten by an emu, see a few kangaroos lounging insolently in the brush, and meet some wallabies who approached me and ate pellets from my hand with their fuzzy little lips. Definitely a major highlight of my trip! Wallabies are my jam.
