Wombat Island

If you’ve got fifteen minutes to spare, curl up in your burrow and enjoy a visit to Maria Island in Australia to meet some wild wombats in a secluded nature preserve. This documentary gives an up-close look at how wombats burrow, fight for territory, and of course, poop in cubes.

    Now I’m even more eager for my work day to end! Cannot wait to indulge my wombatlove for 15 minutes.

    โ€œWombat Combatโ€ ๐Ÿคฃ
    OMgosh! This was the BEST video ever! So informative, giving me knowledge about burrows and body structure I was unaware of. I am glad their extensive burrows helped other animals during the devastating fires. Their protective โ€œbutt plateโ€ just cracks me up!
    I want to hold a wombat! Now higher on my bucket list!

      Personally, I would find a protective butt plate useful.

    BTW, I just noticed there’s no longer a way to just email a post to someone.

      That function seemed broken when I tried it, so I turned it off.

      Another way to share posts by email is to copy the page address from your browser’s address field and paste it into a message.

      Your browser may also have a “Share page” command that would help with this.

    I’m perversely glad to see it “snowing” in Australia. ๐Ÿ˜
