[Mr. K]

I like wombats and badgers

[Scoutmaster]

The wombat lives across the seas,
Among the far Antipodes.
He may exist on nuts and berries,
Or then again, on missionaries;
His distant habitat precludes
Conclusive knowledge of his moods,
But I would not engage the wombat
In any form of mortal combat.

-- Ogden Nash

The mega-wombats appeared to have been trapped in boggy conditions at the site after seeking refuge there from extremely dry conditions during a period of significant climate change in ancient Australia, he added

Climate change in ancient times? How... how quaint ;) LOL

Wombat oil is the best.

Put a wombat in your tank!

[Grimmy]

They’d have made good pack and transport animals, eh?

JRandomFreeper: "That's just so wrong, on so many levels."

Article: "Hocknull likened diprotodon to 'a cross between a wombat and a bear but the size of a rhinoceros'. "

Ken H: "Could be an ancestor of the Flying Purple People Eater."
