Wombats are sturdy, burrowing marsupials native to Australia, known for their round bodies and strong digging claws. These nocturnal herbivores feed on grasses, roots, and bark, using their sharp teeth to chew through tough vegetation. Despite their slow appearance, wombats can sprint up to 40 km/h (25 mph) when threatened. A fun fact about wombats is their unique cube-shaped droppings, which help mark their territory and prevent them from rolling away on sloped terrain! Credit goes to @kids_nat

Something like destiny😊 she is so trusting.. and Raye is not just such a great diplomat (or DiploBat) for her kind but she’s such a gentle and calm girl. Jemma s
