Aussie vs. U.S. kids -- cultural difference

An interesting cultural difference, which I just discovered this evening:

If you have a little kid (around 4 or 5 years old), and you put your hands in front of your chest in a “begging dog” position, say “hop, hop!”, and ask the kid “What animal am I?” -- an American kid will say “a bunny rabbit!”

In Australia, the kid will say “a kangaroo!”
