graceful wombats

  Wombat are extremely powerful. They are expert diggers. They have extremely hard butts and if any predators follow down into their holes, the wombat can kick upwards, crushing their pursuer’s skull against the roof.

  Despite their little legs, they can run in a straight line up to 40km/h. That puddle ain’t shit.

  If you hit a roo with your car, the roo bounces off. If you hit a wombat with your tire, it can break the axle and put your car out of commission.

  Wombats are the tanks of the marsupial world. Don’t fuck with a wombat.

    I once came across a large adult wombat just chilling in the middle of a single lane road in a national park. Wikipedia says they grow up to 35kg, but I swear this one was pushing 50kg; like a large bulldog crossed with a pig. He continued to waddle down the middle of the road as I swerved from side to side, trying to get him to move over so I could go around. I had places to be, and drugs to consume. He did not give a fuck. He couldn’t give one single iota of a fuck. I eventually got outta the car and chased him. The majestic chonk ran faster than I could for a solid 100 meters before he darted off into the bushes. Don’t fuck with a wombat. They are the honey badgers of Oz.

    Not armadillo?

      Being that they’re from the Americas, I doubt Armadillos are marsupial. Probably closer relation to a sloth than a platypus.

  I’ve seen wombats like twice maybe along the road and I never imagined they’d be capable of such grace and poise

    What?

      They thought “wombat” was a synonym for sheep. This image disabused them off that misconception
