Animals of Australia and New Zealand: kangaroos, koalas, wombats, kiwis, sentence 3
Cartoons call the koala a bear, draw kangaroos as boxers that hop forever, and make every Australian animal a cuddly toy; real koalas are not bears, and a cassowary's kick or a platypus's spur is no joke.
Who acts: Cartoons, boxers, real koalas, kick, cassowary · What happens: call, draw, hop, make, not be, be · To what, where: koala, kangaroos, Australian animal, bears, joke · Speech: someone speaks here
