Echidna spikes poll as cutest Aussie animal
Australia Day Poll results of who is the cutest Aussie animal.
- (1888PressRelease) January 28, 2011 - The echidna has spiked the poll in an Australia Day survey by www.vetshopaustralia.com.au to decide our cutest baby animal.
The miniature monotreme had the competition licked, snaring 26% of the vote to be judged the cutest native critter in the online retailer's nation-wide poll.
Not to be left too far out on a limb, the koala was voted our second cutest baby animal with 22% of the vote while the possum was hanging strong in third place with 20%.
Animal lovers were less inclined to want to cuddle up to the tiny Tassie devil, who came fourth with 15% of the vote, followed by the emu (8%) and the kangaroo who leapt to last place with just 3%.
The same poll conducted in the USA produced different results with the koala sitting on top of the tree with 48%, the kangaroo bouncing back to tie with the possum in second place (16%) followed by the echidna (7%), the Tassie devil (6%) and the emu (3%).
"It just goes to show that beauty is in the eye of the beholder,'' said Dr Mark Perissinotto, the head vet at VetShopAustralia.com.au.
