Wombats were my favorite animals when I went to a zoo in Australia. I brought back a little toy wombat that sits on my desk. I like it. This video is cute.

Wombat are cool. It's easy to see how dense and muscular they are from pictures, but to see this guy actually struggling to hold one really conveys the sense of power they must really have.

If you ever get the chance, share a pic of the toy. I'd love to see it.

Here's my little wombat, all the way from the Taronga Zoo in Sydney.

Eeeeh! That's awesome! I went to Taronga Zoo in 2001 and plan on going back when I can. Also, looks like name dropping the zoo inspired rd95's latest happysaturday.

I was there in 2013. I met a koala! It was the thing I did when I arrived in Sydney at 6 AM and couldn't check in my hotel. I figured walking around a zoo would keep me awake and help me acclimate to the time zone. It was a nice zoo, and I'd definitely go back.

Ha! That's a happy coincidence. I just wanted to look at meerkats this morning.

That's honestly cuter than any toy has a right to be.
