3 Decca 05.19.08 at 6:21 pm

LOVE da wombats!

4 Tony James 05.19.08 at 6:27 pm

New Category time – we’ve got Cats in Racks (known to some of the courser people here as “Kits n’T*ts” – you know who you are…) – how many more pictures do we need before we get a ‘bats in Hats section?

5 Tony James 05.19.08 at 6:28 pm

That should be “coarser”, of coarse…

6 chanpon 05.19.08 at 6:33 pm

His eyecapsules, they keel me!! I luv ‘em. I want a snuggly wombat too.

7 viola 05.19.08 at 6:48 pm

So schweet!

8 Kitty Cait 05.19.08 at 7:21 pm

Oh, it just KEELS me. The toes! The nose! The eye-capsules! The tiny little bulldozierness of him!

Is there like a wombat fairy out there? If I put a knitted cap under my pillow, will I wake up in the morning and find a baby wombat in it? Please?

9 kayte 05.19.08 at 7:28 pm

How about “‘Tocks in Toques”?

10 Kar 05.19.08 at 7:37 pm

Y’know, this would be another wonderful entry in that “KNIT” cateogory. Just a suggestion.

“Kits & ” What? I miss all of the juicy discussions.

11 berthaservant 05.19.08 at 7:41 pm

She’s crazy.

Wombats in the wombelfry.

If you know what I mean.

12 Michelle 05.19.08 at 7:49 pm

Pudgy toes! Puffy eye capsules!

*faint*

WOMBATZ R QTE. LURVE WOMBATZ. PURRTECK WOMBATZ.

14 Daniel 05.19.08 at 7:53 pm

LOL@Berthaservant!

And everyone should check out that site, if they’re not doing so RIGHT NOW: Wombats are hilarious animals, and bigger than I thought–up to 30kg! I love the look on this big lump o’wombat’s face, posing with his person:

16 Jimbeaux 05.19.08 at 8:01 pm

Not a big fan of wombattery normally, but this picture just made me go aaaaaawwwwwww! He(?) just looks so comfortabuls! I would love to be in his position.
“Oh, I’m tired, I think I’ll just curl up very cutely in this leetle hat!” Honk-shu, honk-shu….

17 Theresa 05.19.08 at 8:16 pm

Dante G. Rossetti had a wombat.

18 ThreeCatNight 05.19.08 at 8:19 pm

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And if you can’t find a cat,
Just hand me that ol’ wombat hat!

19 debg 05.19.08 at 8:20 pm

Y’all are killing me today with the funny, just as Sid does with the cute. To quote a beloved movie character: “I’m melting . . . melting.”

The wombat in Daniel’s link resembles my very fat cat Josephine getting her tubby rubbed. They’ve got the same smug look and ginormous belleh.

NEED WOMBAT NAO

21 Theo 05.19.08 at 8:31 pm

[cue The B-52s]

Wom-ba-a-at! That’s where it’s at!
Wom-ba-a-at! That’s where it’s at!
Wom-BAT! Baby wom-BAT! (Aww baby that’s where it’s at…)

22 vorbis 05.19.08 at 8:33 pm

What a wombhat.

23 ashley 05.19.08 at 8:35 pm

what in the blue blazes is a wombat

24 Katrina 05.19.08 at 8:35 pm

Wombats, bulldozeriness, ahhhhh, CO has come through again with the timeless wit. ‘Bulldozeriness’ is now a word in my vocabulary.

I’ll take a 20 kilo wombat, please, and some of that Purina Wombat Chow you have there…yes, the low calorie Wombat Chow, this fellow will be carried everywhere and get no exercise at all.

25 Theo 05.19.08 at 8:37 pm

[still B-52-ing]

Wom-BAT! Oh baby he’s really fat…

26 Ashley 05.19.08 at 8:43 pm

I noticed the same picture, Daniel. :)

And we shouldn’t overlook the fact that this wombat’s name is “Sid Vicious!”

27 Sarah 05.19.08 at 8:44 pm

OH MY GOD sleepy little wombat! I love wombats so much. The only reason I could be persuaded to move to Australia is the possibility that I could have a wombat living in my garden.
Ashley: Really? It’s that animal in the photo. They’re sturdy, burrowing marsupials from Australia. They’re adorable.

28 oakling 05.19.08 at 9:06 pm

That would get you straight on the year-end best dressed list! Right away!

29 Welshcake 05.19.08 at 9:13 pm

I first wanted a wombat as a pet when I saw Fatso in ‘A Country Practice’ (1980s Aussie soap). I still want one…

30 zeldapie 05.19.08 at 9:22 pm

EHN!!
*grabby hands

WANT WOMBAT!! WANT!!

31 ashley 05.19.08 at 9:32 pm

eep. I seriously use to think a wombat was a bat….but now that I have seen what they look like, I agree.adorable.

32 Marie 05.19.08 at 9:41 pm

Oh it’s too early for this madness. I can’t handle it. Oh, okay…maybe I can!

33 snuffleducky 05.19.08 at 9:56 pm

34 Khadija 05.19.08 at 10:02 pm

35 eikoleigh 05.19.08 at 10:21 pm

oh, so cute!! sleepy sleepy little wombat!

36 claudia 05.19.08 at 10:34 pm

OH I love the fat little hands and feeties… soo adorable!

37 260Oakley 05.19.08 at 11:14 pm

Australian Cuteologists: are these little wombat guys just wandering around in your back yards (gardens) the way, say, possums can sometimes be found wandering around in American yards? And how did you guys manage to get so many cute animal species crammed on to one island?

38 Gail 05.19.08 at 11:35 pm

I guess I missed “bulldozeriness”, but I will say “asshat”!

Oh, totally in a nice way of course….I meant, you know, that the wombat has an, um, ass and it IS in a hat…

and it is really cute!!

39 Fegli 05.19.08 at 11:46 pm

Awwwwwwww…. not sure what’s cuter – the eye capsules or the most nubbular toesicles.

40 rsncrntz 05.19.08 at 11:51 pm

Would that be a… womhat?

*drumroll*

Thank you, I’m here all week.

41 em 05.19.08 at 11:51 pm

Eep! The bigger ones are just like the wombat in “Diary of a Wombat”–the cutest picture book ever!

Ack! the comments are closed on the Norwegian Badger Incident BUT I have to point out that if you go to the link, one of the files in the URL is /nyheter/. Coincidence? I think not.

The wallaby home site is sooo cute, BTW.

43 gangplank 05.20.08 at 1:42 am

Wombat, that is. Sorry for the W-animal confusion – I blame the crappy chardonnay.

44 gryt 05.20.08 at 1:49 am

I swear, this is the best photo I’ve seen in a loooong time [pimps this pic for the 3rd time in this thread]: http://wombatcountry.com/mammals/wombats_files/page5-1007-full.html
Rosie and Noddie…. I can’t tell who’s happier! I *heart* them.

45 Denise 05.20.08 at 2:13 am

Fegli, the toesicles may look most nubbular, but there are some serious claws at the end of them. Wombats are digging machines. Take a look at http://wombatcountry.com/mammals/wombats_files/page5-1001-full.html to see the same wombat in a different pose.

46 Daphne Moss 05.20.08 at 2:38 am

This baby wombat is unfairly cute!!! Eye caplets…fat tiny body…fat little toesies, all equal length…
There is something irresistable about dis baybee…I want to hug him and his giant fat mommy!

47 Rachel Sweeden 05.20.08 at 3:41 am

That hat is so cute.

48 mb 05.20.08 at 3:57 am

Dude, his name is Sid Vicious!!! He’s not only cute, but punk rock too!t

49 cindyloumarie 05.20.08 at 4:21 am

51 ashagato 05.20.08 at 10:18 am

Denise, LOL, i just read:
“The testicles may look most nubbular, but there are some serious claws at the end of them…”
mmm-hm, WHAT? HOW DID I MISS THAT?

what funny, sweet animals :)

52 ashagato 05.20.08 at 10:20 am

he’s a baby where-the-wild-things-are monster!

53 Addis 05.20.08 at 10:22 am

I love his little clenched right fist :)

54 Theresa 05.20.08 at 3:05 pm

Now I have to go dig in my 20-yr old Trip to Australia pictures (not digital, kids ;) ), to find my wombat pics. They look like large pumpernickel loaves.

55 miltoncat 05.20.08 at 8:33 pm

Aaaiyeee! I must keees his wombat head. Then I will snorgle heeeem. Snert.

56 Subhangi 05.21.08 at 5:43 am

I wanna snuggle heem!

57 Silvercat 05.21.08 at 8:51 am

Australian Cuteologist here – unfortunately wombats are generally not in most people’s gardens like possums are. However, on the plus side, there was a koala or two living in the trees near my office at work. I live in the country area (45 mins from a big city) and we have kangaroos dropping by occasionally.

58 marie 05.21.08 at 2:09 pm

i’m seriously loving how cute this is but when i first saw this little guy, his eye capsules seriously looked like little buttholes. srsly. not hating, just saying. still love him and want to cuddle him til he wakes up. mmfff.

59 Theo 05.21.08 at 5:39 pm

Um, interesting perspective there, Marie…

60 Kate 05.21.08 at 6:35 pm

*is mortally wounded by the stubbular eye-capsuled honk-shuin’ cuteness*

A… victim of… unarmed wombat… *gurgle*

61 marie 05.21.08 at 7:24 pm

teho- i hope you didn’t take personal offense, i surely love the little guy with most of my heart. the rest of my heart goes to my loved ones and my boyfriend’s sister’s dog which is partly mine. looove her. anyway, you have to admit, the eye capsules look like wee buttholes. they really do.
