Wombats are especially wonderful. I wanted to see one in the wild when I was in Australia, slowed down for every wombat crossing, but only got to see them in the zoo in Sydney.
They are heavy as.... I held a baby one once.... like a little lump of lead :)
This was at the zoo in Melbourne :)
They are so very cute.... I love how they sleep on their backs with their legs in the air...LOL
