    a friend in Adelaide knew people who fostered a wombat...eventually released to the wild in the bush around their property...huge now, he comes back now and again and bashes through the screen door, lumbers down the hall and dives onto the bed(nocturnal creatures) all smelly and damp usually...but loved regardless

    I don’t know why, but that little buddy is just way cool. I would love to have one running around. People may recall a movie starring a Russell Crowe called “ Captain And Commander - Far Side Of The World”. He was the captain of an 1800’s British sailing ship. The book was written as part of a series featuring the captain in each book. In a couple of the books the ships doctor brought one of these creatures on board and although the crew loved it, the little bugger was constantly chewing the captains uniform and anything else it could get. It was hilarious.

      ecclestonsangel The opening of the wombat pouch faces between the back legs, so when mama is digging she doesn't flick dirt into the pouch and onto baby. Nature takes everyrhing into account, doesn't she?

    • @Mythraen
      @Mythraen 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      As they note in the video, they're basically treating the baby as the mother would. First they stay in the "den" for a while, then gradually introduce the wombat to the outside world.
      There's nothing "captive" about this environment that is different from the environment it would have grown up in, except that mom is a human, and the "den" is a house.
      I don't see how having seen the inside of a house is going to significantly affect the wombat's life.

    I'm a bit worried about this fostering because wombats are nocturnal and get picked off by predators during the day. I think the foster mum should be encouraging the little wombat to sleep during the day hours and be active during the night, and definitely bringing her outside during daylight hours????

    Marsupials like Wombats and monotremes like Platypuses are both unique to a tiny region of the earth - entire beefy branches of life that we could have just as easily lost... It's hard to imagine how huge of a deal that is, and what other branches of life could have been, or will be in the future, provided we don't kill the planet =p

    If I was ever tasked with describing a wombat in as few words as possible to someone who had never seen one before, I would probably say that one's first impression is a marsupial version of woodchuck or marmot. I'm aware of the numerous biological, behavioral, and psychological differences.
