It has always amused me that the tourists to the US that I’ve spoken to are often very excited to see raccoons, and disappointed if they don’t see them before they leave.

Some others I’ve noticed on the east coast of the US are blue jays and cardinals. Boy, do people get excited about those if they’ve never seen them before! Very pretty birds of course, just very easy to get used to and see as uninteresting as well.

          Some say that the drop bears are the true descendants of the first British convicts sent to Australia

            Damnit. I googled it. Im from the US. Closest we have to drop bears here are snipes. I’ve been on a few snipe hunts myself.
