Spanish motocycle rider Alex Bautista poses with a wombat at the Maru Koala Park, Austrlia, in September 2006. Modern wombats are about one metre (three feet) long, 25 centimetres (10 inches) high and weigh 20-45 kilogrammes (44-100 pounds). Scientists in Australia have announced that they had found the jawbone of a giant wombat the size of a large car that lived 20,000-40,000 years ago.(AFP/File/Paul Crock)

Is that wombat alive? Or very tame?
Most animals held in such a way would probably be clawing to get away or into another position, and look at the animal's claws, they look pretty long.

holy crap, the normal version of those things is bigger than I thought...for some reason I thought wombats were much smaller...like bush babies or something..
