Each day as we were walking we saw much wildlife including hooded plovers, pied oyster-catchers, Cape Barren geese, Bennetts wallabies and thrillingly for me, a wombat. |
European red foxes contribute to spreading mange throughout the country as well, as at times they utilise wombat burrows for rest. |
So this indicates to me that when we come across a wombat with mange we must look at why it has the mange. |
But under jungle starlight it also let him talk candidly to his fellow wombat tail-eating celebs, and to the great British public. |
To the kangaroos and emus of the outback, I was able to add sightings of wallabies, a wombat, and an echidna. |
It also looks like the wombat, its closest living relative, but has a thicker coat, larger ears and longer limbs. |
