Wombats are so wonderful, how lucky to see, I've yet to come across one in a natural setting. But....GET OFF THE ROAD little fellow! They know not, the dangers that stretch of tarmac holds. Posted 4 years ago

Yes they never in a hurry crossing roads and in some areas you see many killed. Also in this case the problem is that they are not worried about people or cars. Posted 4 years ago
