Australia's long isolation produced animals found nowhere else. The platypus and echidna are among the only mammals that lay eggs. Marsupials fill the roles other continents give to different animals: a wallaby grazes like a small deer, a numbat and bilby dig for food, and a possum climbs at night. The goanna is a large lizard, the cassowary a huge flightless bird, and the kookaburra is famous for a call that sounds like laughter. This word puzzle gathers eleven of them.
