Daniel Tiger (voiced by Jake Beale from Seasons 1-Mid-Season 2, Devan Cohen from Mid-Season 2-3, Keegan Hedley in Seasons 4 & 5 and Asher Bolduc-Theron starting with "Daniel Tiger Visits a New Neighborhood") is a 5-year-old [15] tiger cub who lives on Jungle Beach with his parents. In season 2, he became an older brother when his younger sister Margaret was introduced. His favorite toy is a blue stuffed tiger named Tigey, which he named after "Tigey the Adventure Tiger," his favorite storybook hero. Daniel normally wears a red zipper cardigan sweater hoodie and red sneakers (in contrast to Mister Rogers' blue sneakers) and he often breaks the fourth wall by asking the viewers questions related to the content in the episodes. He differs in physical appearance from the Daniel Striped Tiger character in the Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood television show. In his house, the wardrobe and much of his home furnishings (such as the traffic light, shelves with the Neighborhood of Make-Believe models, the Neighborhood Trolley train set, and Picture Picture), are direct allusions to the Mr. Rogers studio house. He is allergic to peaches. His catchphrases are "Grr-ific!" "Tiger-tastic!" "Ugga Mugga" and "Wasn't that Grr-ific?" [16] He has been the mascot of Fred Rogers Productions since 2018.

The author opens this book with an account of his first sighting of a platypus in it's natural environment. Although Ashby is a trained naturalist he writes with commitment and passion for his concern and love for Australian animals. He also writes in a lite’n easy conversational style. At times he is comical and self-deprecating. He knows his target audience.

Her legs cannot work on their own, so she has to use braces on her legs and crutches on her arms. Occasionally, she needs some help, but mostly, she likes doing things for herself. She has a horse named Peaches. She also attends the neighborhood school. As a part of the Royal family, she would be princess of the family. She was introduced in ‘Daniel's New Friend’. Chrissie is based on Chrissy Thompson, a regular visitor on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. Because Ashby is not Australian, I thought he brought a different perspective on Australian fauna. He argued strongly that Australian marsupials and monotremes are not ‘primitive’ animals. He gave due respect and regard to the indigenous views and beliefs about the Australian environment and its animals. Lady Elaine (voiced by Teresa Pavlinek) is Miss Elaina's mother who works at the crayon factory and is a curator of the Museum-Go-Round.Trolley is a red, autonomous, semi-sentient trolley that transports Daniel and his friends anywhere in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe. It understands verbal commands clearly and replies by ringing its bell and blowing its whistle twice, which Daniel often imitates. It is the same trolley from Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. Think of a They lay eggs (that hatch into so-called platypups), produce milk without nipples and venom without fangs, and can detect electricity. Or a Their teeth never stop growing, they poop cubes, and they defend themselves with reinforced rears.

Platypuses, possums, wombats, echidnas, devils, kangaroos, quolls, dibblers, dunnarts, Australia has some truly astonishing mammals, with incredible, unfamiliar features.

Notes I made: 3 million feral cats living in Australia kill over 512 million native mammals every year. 1.4 million native animals killed per night. Annual death toll 1.4 billion native animals per year if you include reptiles and birds. Controlling feral cat numbers is an essential part if conservation planning in Australia. In addition 3.8 million pet cats in Australia destroy 230 million native birds reptiles and mammals per year. Cats only bring home 15% of animals they kill. Habitat destruction. Cane toads (released near Cairns in 1935) eat anything smaller than them, and their toxic skin poisons any animals bigger than them. Monitor lizards and predatory ants would be significant predators of cane beetles but themselves are killed by cane toads.

Jeg syntes heller ikke at resten af verden ser ned på Australiens meget unikke dyreliv.
