Nocturnal animals in Australia

Many Australian animals come out after dark to avoid the heat. These all fit the Nocturnal × Found in Australia square from a past Overlaple puzzle.

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

Jev, the AI judge that scores Overlaple, says whether it fits both.
