Baby wombat peaking out from his Mums pouch. A brilliant example of a backward facing pouch. A wombats pouch faces backwards to prevent dirt from entering the pouch. Thanks to Strathewan Wildlife Shelter in Victoria for sharing this often unseen view of a baby wombat in a pouch.

I don't like to embarrass Mrs Wombat, but I've never seen a picture like this and thought it fascinating. Must be a little uncomfortable though.

Excellent research Beth. This now explains perfectly why "our" Wombat has such a skewed view of life !!!!

He never knew where he was going, only where he had been

This thread sure has deteriorated, so I am here to drag it out. In all your posts about poo no one has mentioned the fact that - Wombats poo in CUBES...This is due to their slow metabolism and the fact that they like to mark their territory with poo. Cubes don't roll away as easily as spheres.

There you go, the thread has become educational and informative again

 Nah......Wombat presses them into that shape to offer to tourists, pretending they are chocolates, then watches them gag !!!! wink biggrin

(apart from that it is very interesting Chris, but don't tell Wombat that)
