They're nicking the #wombats ! #USA #tourist #influencer and #hunter causes a shitstorm in #Australia after taking a baby #wombat from its mother (she should surely be arrested under #animalwelfare laws?)
#thenewdaily I’m not sure I want a blatant #sociopath in our country from the #USA.
Hoping the government handles this better than some stupid news item showing a #wombats distress.

“Deliberate destruction of wildlife”
Drivers mowed down 10 wombats in a “deliberate act of animal cruelty” in the tiny Victorian town of Venus Bay. Police believe the animals were 'deliberately' killed by three vehicles."

How venomous is the Northern Hairy-Nosed Wombat, Mummy, and is it true that Australians call them "ankle bears," to distinguish them from "drop bears," ie, Koalas?

@kzoneind 
Were all the venomous fauna ordered to stay on the Australian side of the Wallace Line?
Is this how all the drop bears (koalas) and ankle bears (wombats) ended up in Oz?

@chestas Did the wombats make a sudden, terrifying lunge at your ankles, Chestas?
Eye, for one, would have been petrified with fear.

This wombat is making the most of the long weekend in true blue Aussie fashion – with a day at the beach! 
Did you know that wombats sometimes forage on the beach? They will wander the sands, snuffling about for salt marsh plants like samphire!

You can find yourself living with quirky characters when looking for a sharehouse, but we bet this wombat didn't think it would end up with a fox and her cub for burrow-mates!
What makes this situation so unique is that foxes generally predate on wombats, but the pair documented by WWF-Australia seem to be making it work.

Cameras reveal #wombat burrows can be safe havens after fire and waterholes after rain

Wombat burrows are hotspots for small vertebrates in a landscape subject to gigafire https://academic.oup.com/jmammal/advance-article/doi/10.1093/jmammal/gyae034/7675394
"The burrows of common #wombats are deep and complex. They can be over 15 metres long with multiple entrances and chambers... their burrows might act as fire refuges – providing vital shelter, food, and even drinking water during and after a bushfire."
Friday is for frolicking with friends in the fields 
Young wombats are extremely playful animals, known to venture from their mother's pouches to explore, play and learn!

@pixelpusher220 #quokkas are definitely top of #straya's cute range 
but #wombats are actually cuddly, unlike #koalas and their close cousin the #dropbear 
@KingShawn
Wombats have such powerful butts they can crush skulls with them ... But mostly they just potter about munching grass and making burrows that keep the land healthy and provide refuge for other animals when they need it.
And THAT is the energy we are bringing into 2024.
