25 Seconds of Wombat Joy

Meet the humble hero of the bush -the wombat. 🐾

With their chunky build, strong claws, and backwards-facing pouch to keep the dirt out while digging, wombats are expert burrowers who love to stay snug, like this little one, fast asleep after finishing her specialised formula bottle and safe in the arms of an experienced Carer. Stay tuned for future updates.

If you spot a wombat in distress, or one that’s been hit by a car, call @wildlifevictoria on 03 8400 7300.

And if you love wombats, make sure you follow @wilderness_aus & @animals.of.tasmania for some adorable posts.
