Endangered animals in Australia

Australia has lost more mammal species than any other continent since 1788, and many more are threatened. These all fit the Endangered × Found in Australia square from a past Overlaple puzzle.

This pair comes from a past Overlaple puzzle: Monday, 26 October 2026, where “Endangered” and “Found in Australia” met in one square. That page lists the best answers players gave.
