This is a Southern Hairy Nosed Wombat. Despite their despondent appearance they are known as highly social wombats, residing in groups of 6 to 10 in a single burrow system. The burrow system is critical to their survival. According to
wikipedia:
"To avoid predators, it runs into its burrow. If followed, it can crush the predator against the tunnel wall using its backside."
Sounds awesome.
Mmmm, native grasses.
Word!
