Get a load of Patrick here! According to Mother Nature Network, he’s believed to be the biggest, oldest wombat in captivity, and he loves being cuddled and chauffeured about Ballarat Wildlife Park in Sherlock Holmes’ wheelbarrow.

    I’m going to be a wombat cuddler when I grow up.

      I will have need for a wombat cuddler at my wildlife preserve when I start one. The job is yours if you want it, Amy. I’m afraid I’ll be too busy waxing the turtles and towing the tigers around.

        Me? Me? Please pick me?

        Me, too? I’m willing to snuggle almost anything.

        Me three! I’m also up for wheelbarrow duty if the need arises.

        Ooo! Ooo! Ooo! Can I be the tiger tow-er for you? PLEASE??!!?! You’re gonna need all your time to wax those turtles!

    I so want to touch that belly. Patrick’s roundness is impressive and beguiling.

      Want to hold NOW!

    Again, an ocean separates me from total cuteness. Patrick is so adorable. I didn’t realize wombats could get that big. I’d volunteer to be a wombat cuddler or wheelbarrow transporter.

    He looks so happy in his wheelbarrow – like the captain of a ship! 😀

    • Murray March 30, 2016 / 3:10 pm

      Very apt. See more wombats at Sleepy Burrows Wombat Rescue – lots of good videos.

      • Smartypants March 30, 2016 / 8:11 pm

        Oh, yes – they are great – thanks for the tip!

    Australia as the cutest animals, wombats, koalas, kangaroos, I don’t even mind the snakes and the crocodiles I would move there tomorrow if it wasn’t for the bugs. ? ? ?? ?

    • Alice Shortcake March 30, 2016 / 6:22 pm

      Don’t forget the quokkas, smiling stars of squee-inducing selfies!

    • 6rabbits March 30, 2016 / 11:03 pm

      Yes. Bugs. Spiders.
      Every time I think of visiting Australia the life-perserving part of my brain smacks down cute-loving side of my brain.

    Patrick is stinkin’ adorable and that is ultimate compliment I give!

    That woman is the Tina Fey of wombat wranglers! I love her affection for him. The way she cuddles and holds him. I love how comfortable he is with her, the way he holds onto her arm with his paws. They clearly are buds.

      He’s so relaxed, is the amazing part! By the way, I think this is your first comment, so I’d like to welcome you to the site. Have a great time here.
