Emu (Australian Ostrich)
"The emu is one of Australia's national birds and the second-largest living bird after the ostrich."
Bushbaby (Galago)
"Bushbabies are nocturnal, have large eyes, strong hind legs for leaping, and their calls resemble a baby's cry."

"Tuataras are ancient reptiles, known as 'living fossils', and have a third eye (parietal eye) on top of their heads."
Lungfish (African Lungfish, Australian Lungfish (different species))
"Lungfish are ancient fish that, in addition to breathing with gills, some species can also breathe air using a modified swim bladder (lung-like)."
