I just like saying wombat.
Wombat. What a great word.
Are these the ancestors of Side-Hill Wombats?

He told me his name was Bruce.
I like saying mega-wombat.
But 70 cm lower jaw... 27 inches? Dat's a big wombat.
/johnny
That's just so wrong, on so many levels.

Yeah Wombats are marsupials, but I’ve got a family of fat and happy squirrels running around on my roof right now that might give these old boys a run for their money judging by the thunderous patter.

“Megafauna are thought to have evolved to such large sizes to cope with inhospitable climates and food scarcity”
Pot induced thought perhaps....
A species grows to such large sizes because THEY ARE THRIVING!
Since when does “food scarcity” drive growth?
If their screwy theory held, the N. Koreans would be 10 ft. tall, rather than 4’ 9”.
Get an air rifle and be discreet.

Those beady eyes don’t look too bright.
Well, yeah, true enuff, but yet I could just peel them off the road in the near future and toss them on the grill provided they’re still warm....the little fellers have a short half-life round here. Clever as they are otherwise, they just don’t *get* the traffic thing.
Could be an ancestor of the Flying Purple People Eater.
Okay, if you solicit the names, I’ll do it.
