wombats might not look like they can ran fast but they can run 40 kilometers per hour (24.9 miles per hour). If sustained, this would allow a wombat to run 100 meters (328 feet) in 9 seconds, smashing the (human) world record of 9.58 seconds.#tasmania #wildlife #cuteanimals #wombat #animallovers | Animals.of.tasmania

Another wombat treated for mange early this morning. We suspect it’s Stu, a wombat treated once last year before he disappeared. One dose Bravecto is not enough so it’s starting from scratch again and hopefully we can give him two follow up doses. Lucky for him he has most of the fur on his back but his front legs and torso is covered in thick plaques If you want to support us in helping them please do. It costs us an average of $250 per wombat for treatment. You can donate at www.wombatrescue.c

Canberra-based wombat rescuer Yolandi Vermaark of Wombat Rescue is on the frontline of fighting mange in wombats. Here, Australian Geographic follows her on one of her typical weekends, which involves looking for joeys in roadkill and treating a small population of wombats with cydectin that helps get rid of mange. It's a hard story to watch, but Yolandi believes all Australians need to open their eyes to the incredible suffering wombats with mange endure. | Australian Geographic

💩 video.. Louis and Laila are on the same milk, same feeding regime and same weight but their poop couldn’t look more different He does use the log though which is very cute. It used to be pumpkin colour but turned darker with the bark they’re chewing on | Wombat Rescue
