I was going to say a rabbit, but good one @2 haha!

capybara!

Not just a wombat but a Common Wombat, not to be confused with either the Southern or Northern Hairy-Nosed Wombat -- the latter of which is one of the most endangered species in the world, just a hundred or so individuals left, which may not be enough to maintain sufficient genetic diversity to survive (another reason why "Sasquatch" is bullshit). Wombats are delightful; they're called "the hobbits of the bush", and live most of their lives in holes. I can't even imagine how great it would be to rub noses with one, and scratch his belly.

If you're looking for a fascinating few hours, you should read James Woodford's "The Secret Life of Wombats", if you can find it. The ebook is on Amazon and Google.

Clearly one of those giant radiation-mutated Iranian rats that Charles has been warning us about.

@1 may be "correct", but I think @2 wins.
9
Fnarf, you rock.
10
Chupacabra!

This video shows why none of the victims puts up a fight until it's too late.
11
Handsome example of a ginger cub.....
12
Even if I (Australian) did not recognise a wombat when I saw one (I do) I'd still recognise that this was filmed in Australia. That sparse bird cry can mean only one place in the world.
13
FNARF! Where'd you get that "hobbits of the bush" description? I'll check out the book. Thought I know something about wombats. Sheesh, compared to you, I got nothin'!
14
They make cubular poops!
15
A people munching marsupial.
16
A well balanced daily sex life should always include a healthy serving of ginger stud with an accent
17
Forget sloths, this is my new favorite.
18
Pretty sure that's a velociraptor, but it needs a haircut.
19
Totes adorbs, as the kids say.

Hah, I knew hot ginger wasn't muttering endearments in 'Strine--he's Austrian!

And who doesn't love nice tummy rubs?! Not my kitty, not me!

@13, I read the book, that's how. I'm a little obsessed with marsupials and their neighbors the monotremes (platypuses and echidnas). Wombats aren't even my favorite; my spirit animal (land division) is the Tassie Devil, though if I had to pick one to cuddle it would probably be a sugarglider or a bilby.

You can try to out-cute the wombat, Rob!, but it ain't workin'.
23
@20 I love the Kakapo. Such amazing birds. Basically flightless parrots from New Zealand and critically endangered.
24
Only modesty prevents me uploading a pic of my own furry belly, @22.
25
Without clicking, I guessed koala. I knew it was a wombat maybe 2 secs in with the sound off. So I guess I was close?
26
@23, oh my lordie! I've never seen those before. "Ground parrot", indeed, with a big droopy schnozz and everything.

I haven't really explored the fauna of the Kiwis; I've only ventured to Oz. I've seen a Wedge-Tailed Eagle in the wild, though, and my favorite the Kookaburra in a zoo, along with many others, including some great Honeyeaters, Lyrebirds, Lorikeets, and the freakish Bellbirds, or Bell Miners, that make an unearthly loud PING sound that sounds like someone clinking a wine bottle, only really loud. So many wonderful birds in Australia.
27
They're cute as joeys, but just wait until Douglas turns into a 140lb unstoppable smelly tank.
28
The hot dog factory video after the wombat ...wonderful.

Please wait...
