Every Wombat Needs a Mum

For the last Wombat Wednesday of 2017, here’s an extra special treat: a visit with Washington, a playful little orphan whose antics reveal the distinct personalities that make wombats so adorable, and their strong emotional need for closeness.




More wombats for 2018 please, Murray C.!

    They get under our guard and burrow into our hearts. Love these adorable furry “tanks”

      I KNOW I need a wombat!? How special they are.? I notice this vid says “chapter 1” so I await more with much anticipation!

    Mike obviously saved the best for last. I squeed the moment I saw Washington’s sweet little face and couldn’t stop squeeing until the video ended. That was just deadly cute.

    Maybe I should just move to Australia now to take up a career as a wombat fosterer.

    This video turned me into a puddle of wombat goo. That’s some combat-level cuteness.

    We don’t do presents at Christmas anymore but I would make an exception for a wombat!
