When you imagine Australia, you probably will envisage snakes, bugs, sharks, and even kangaroos. But it turned out, Aussie is way more prominent than this. Australia commemorates its national day on Jan. 26th, and undeniably one of its most deceptively essential aspects is its sense of humor. Ever heard a bird mimicking the sound of a camera shutter? Ever traveled to a place where bugs are an alternative to lights?

If you haven’t, extremely-unique moments only occur in no other country but Australia. We decided to celebrate Australia’s National Day by honoring all of the tiny yet bizarre details that make the country beautiful. From a native plant that looks like a hummingbird, raising baby Kangaroo like a real-child, to rainbow-colored fish found on an Island, this compilation proves that Australia is a whole different world or perhaps Planet. Brace up for mouth-opening moments as you take a look at these interesting facts.
