Run, Ali, run!

A wombat "the size of a large car"? Cute but dangerous.

hehe.. i could probably outrun a normal one, but one the size of a CAR? that might be a bit tricky....

for all you newbies to the wombat world, a few random facts:

- wombats from tassie are furrier (its colder)
- they can give you a very nasty bite (they get quite cranky)
- there are 3 different species - common, southern- and northern hairy-nosed w's
- i think the common ones are cuter
- they do square poo (sorry, but it freaked a lot of us out when they brought one to my primary school when i was 8)

But I definitely think Ali should take a wombat-poo excursion with her camera!
