Before reading this, I had no idea what a "wombat" was. :yaknow:

I'd heard of wombats before, but I didn't realize they were as big as the one in that picture. I thought they were much smaller, maybe the size of a house cat at the largest. The idea of one as big as a car is rather shocking in light of that.

It would make a good video game boss, though...
