Shake It, Wombat!

This wombat shakes a stuffed toy — and her booty

Here at Attack Wombat Academy, cadets hone their lethal skills on the obstacle sofa. In this video, the aptly-named Hazelnut subdues a practice dummy with a combination of a vigorous thrashing combined with her signature finishing move, the Rump Bump.

    Endlessly amusing and charming, those wombats – the video just after this, the one with the pink blanket – is hilarious. And I so love the woman who runs the sanctuary – she never loses her cool or her appreciation of these little loves – even the way she deals with her youngster is so great.

      “He’s gonna bite you.” . . . “Ow.”

    Ah yes, the Rump Bump. Best accompanied by the taunt, “I fart in your general direction.”

    I seriously wonder if the wombats that get raised at Sleepy Burrows miss sofas when they go back out into the wild.

      I’ve never thought about how rescue animals feel about losing the rescue homes they had. I’m guessing it’s not straightforward.

    My childhood dog used to do this. We called it “butt whumping.” I guess he was part wombat.
