What a cutie! Are they friendly at all? Or shy? Posted 4 years ago

  In areas where they come into frequent contact with people they loose the fear of humans. This can be a problem as they can get quite aggressive and can inflict nasty bite wounds. The one in the photo alwise came at night feeding on the lawn as it was about the only green grass at the time. At night you could hear it eating in front of the bedroom window.By the way i must add that baby wombats ( often orphaned) which need hand rearranging make the most adorable pets inverte had to work with.
