More #devils on #MariaIsland leads to a reduction in overabundant possums. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2022.2113#.ZBTP8si68aY.twitter

Snoozy wombats. Wombats contemplating diving into their burrows. Wombats checking out our bikes. BABY WOMBATS. This has been the best day of my until-now wombat-less life

Happy New Year everyone! It looks like it will be a fun year ahead with lots of exciting developments and increasing the size of our #herpetology research group.
But for now, I am enjoying camping on Maria Island, #Tasmania surrounded by lots of amazing #wildlife, including loadsss of #wombats.
I hope you are all enjoying a break and taking a bit of time to relax!

@daisyeverlasting I just looked up our photos. Here is the pale wombat we found near the wharf. It looks like it was even paler in colour than your wombat, so maybe it's a different animal. It's not like wombats are rare on Maria Island.
Regardless, please post more wombat spam. π

The Wombats keep the grass mowed to within a mm of the ground on this island.

Wombats have rear facing pouches. So as this mum is walking along eating grass, the little baby Wombat is having a little grassy nibble as well!
Also they have cubic poo, I'll post a picture of that next π
