Sad Looking Marsupial


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!





Hullo! We're being social!
