Here on the off-road test track, we put wombats through their paces: acceleration, cornering, braking, drift, rollover tests, and of course, binkies. It’s all to ensure that every wombat is Built Wombat Tough!
Saturday arvo s***’s and giggles with Ollie ♡

Posted to Facebook by the Wombat Awareness Organisation in Australia. Spotted by Teho, yay!
Two Teho sightings in two days? Life. Is. Good. Blessings to NTMTOM and Teho!
It’s not like I’m trying to hide…
It’s like old times all those years ago, but something seems to be missing? Hmmm OTTERS maybe?
Wombats AND otters? BEST MASHUP EVARRR
Wombats are just fantastic creatures. I love the rollover.
Yippee!! Wombats!!!! It just keeps getting better!
I’m continuing in my lobbying efforts to have this delightful creature renamed. I’ve just never been convinced that the name “Wombat” does it justice. We can keep the Wombat name and just assign it to some lizard or toad …. or even to an actual BAT ….. and then we are free to call these roly-poly darlings something more suiting like BUMPKINs or FLURRYCUTIEs or something. I’m open to suggestions.
Womby-Pomby Roly-Poly?
Birdcage, I respectfully disagree. I love the name Wombat. It’s part of their charm for me. And I like saying “walloping wombats.” Walloping bumpkins just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
However, “walloping bumpkins” does sound like a nice Victorian-era expletive…
Walloping Bumpkins is now my go-to phrase!!!!
I may have to start a band now.
Oh, mah dawg! That video makes me extraordinarily happy. What a happy blorp. 😀
Love the roly-poly wackiness. Is this normal
wombat behavior or is it a mating dance (ha!)?
I don’t see the other cutie doing this. BTW, the
name “wombat” is goofy enough for me.
Rolling, prancing wombat just skyrocketed to the top of my Christmas list. 🙂
I had no idea they’re so wacky! The roll-over had me chocking back some mashed potatoes lest I spray my computer monitor at work. 🙂
Notice the classic execution of ‘Never too busy for an itch.’ at the end there.
Our *dog* acts like this. Maybe Sophie is part wombat? I really need to get that gene screening scheduled…
Are wombats related to buns?! He even did a “bunny roll” in addition to binkies! Never before seen this adorable behavior in wombats. BTW, I love saying “wombat” and I think the name fits them?
