Cute, Adorable. In Trouble.

It's hard to describe just how appealing the wombat is. They amazingly playful, affectionate animals. That's at least while they're young, but then they grow up, they get grumpy, so don't get too close.

But that's all part of what makes them special. These are tough creatures that can survive in the Australian bush.

Then, there are humans. Also the mange. Our handlers at Sleepy Burrows have dedicated their lives to caring for wombats. And, as we discovered, even their home!

Interview by Rod, with help from Katie, and impromptu appearance from Elliot, who skitters across the floor while we're talking!
