For #WombatWednesday: have you ever seen a wombat mum
that looked like this? 😂
(Real wombats have back-facing pouches and usually only one joey at a time, very rarely twins.)

Happy #WombatWednesday! Here's the wombat from Gerard Krefft's The Mammals of #Australia, 1871. All the book plates were done by Australian sisters Harriet & Helena Scott - this one is credited to Harriet.
The Australian Museum has lots of info on the Scott sisters' prolific natural history illustration careers here: https://australian.museum/learn/collections/museum-archives-library/scott-sisters/
