Todd: Rebecca, I'm a huge animal lover 1. I love animals and Australia has lots of wildlife and animals. I was wondering, could you talk about them and starting with, what's the deal with the camels? Why do you have camels?


Rebecca: Camels are not really Australian animals but Australia's really big. It has a lot of desert in the center part of Australia so when white people first arrived in Australia, they decided 2 to explore inland and because it's so dry, there's no water, the couldn't use horses so they brought camels over, but some got away and they went wild and they started breeding 3 and now there's hundreds, maybe thousands, of camels running around wild in the desert.


Todd: No, way, really. So these camels are just free to do whatever, like, do people try to catch them or just let them be or what's the deal?


Rebecca: As far as I know they have no jobs, no obligations 4. I think they can just do what they want. No, but in the northern part of Australia, actually they have a famous camel race every year, and it's like a horse race but with camels. That's pretty funny.


Todd: Cool. That would be cool to see. OK, I got to ask about the Koala 5. Now I heard that the Koala actually is not such a cute creature. That it has sharp claws 6 and this and that. Is that true?


Rebecca: Yeah, something I could never really understand is why tourists want to cuddle a koala. I've never cuddled one and I don't want to because I've heard that they don't smell very nice. They're a little bit, not very friendly. Yes, they do have sharp claws and they can hurt you if they choose to. I think they genuinely 7 are pretty peaceful, but I think they would rather sleep so.


Todd: OK, and could the same be said for the kangaroo? So the kangaroo, are they these fun loving creatures or are they kind of wild and dangerous?


Rebecca: Kangaroos are definitely 8 wild and dangerous. I think wallabies are safer. They're smaller and usually more friendly with people. You do have to be careful especially with male kangaroos. When I was a kid I tried to feed a kangaroo but the kangaroo got a little bit over excited about my sandwich and he pushed me over and he stole my sandwich.


Todd: Man. Whoa. Cool. Well, it's kind of cool that a kangaroo has an attitude.
