Flinders Island Wombat

in photofeed •  6 years ago  (edited)

A Flinders Island Wombat (Vombatus ursinus) and her baby on Maria Island. A muscular marsupial that digs extensive burrows. Unlike other marsupials it has a backwards facing pouch so that when digging it does not gather soil in its pouch over its young.

Beautiful animals, which are the size, because the picture looks like it would be quite large.

They are about the same as a medium size pig

Wow are cute, overgrown hamsters :)

I wonder if one of these would make a good pet.

Not sure; it is illegal in Australia to have native animals as pets so I have no experience with that.

Totes adorbs!
