Hmm, we're not talking about Fruit Bats as spies then are we. They'd be about as usefully silent as an angry giraffe in a Fabergé Egg shop.

Wombats - the dumb, stubborn bulldozer of the marsupial world. Lovely animal, but don't get in their way (they're unfamiliar with the phrase "go around"). Like most Aussie marsupials, not exactly bursting with what we call intelligence either.
Platypus - well, they're poisonous. Are poisonous animals acceptable. If so, I submit
Irukandji. Not a lot of personality, but you'll remember when you met them, even if they just brushed you as they passed by.

Rodents? Don't make me pull out my
Encyclopaedia Pedantica. Also, as above, there's a reason that Fruit Bats are also sometimes called Flying Foxes. "Little" is another word I wouldn't use to describe them (which makes that little ringtail possum all the braver for charging the Fruit Bat crash-climbing around our palm trees for their fruit).

I'm totally with you there. I love crows. I like
Australian Magpies more (unrelated to other magpies of the world, and generally only a bit smaller than your average crow/raven). They've a beautiful singing voice - sort of a deep, birdy ululation rather than a pretty trill.

Perhaps you just have stupid crows where you live.
New Caledonian Crows are quite the intelligent tool-user. I hear they do the servicing on Pirate Ninja Squirrel hovercars.
