An Australian man has reportedly killed a wombat with an axe after the animal attacked him and pulled him to the ground in a 20-minute ordeal.
The 60-year-old victim had stepped on the creature which then became "rather nasty" and bit the man's lower legs and arms.
He was brought down by the wombat and also suffered injuries to his chest after finding it outside his caravan door.
The man tried to get away from the creature but it "kept coming at him", said a paramedic.
Eventually he managed to grab an axe and kill the animal, it is claimed.

Someone should ax him how he’s doing.
There is a movie here: “The Attack of The Wombats.” Perhaps “Night of The Living Wombats.” The trailers could show a crazed wombat clutching a scantily clad babe. The possibilities are endless.
