But you have the cutest bears of all! The koala bears =) I'm yet to
visit Australia, but my naive expectations so far is that the
Australian wildlife is diverse, exciting and things I've never seen
before.

Ah. Well, I guess I'm not as exciting for me, hence I have skipped so
far visiting the national parks and forests in California. My dad is a
hunter and I'm from Latvia thus I've seen a lot of bears, deer, wild
boars, foxes, rabbits etc and many other more rare animals. But e.g.
even around London, foxes are very common.
