    That fact that her name is Magnolia puts this over the top.

    For all fellow-admirers of the marsupial tank, may I recommend ‘Diary of a Wombat’?

    They are kinda like a mix of piglet, guinea peeg, koala, capybara …. the “bat” in the name always throws me. I’m renaming it – Wompeeg? Womoala? Womlet?

      I lurv wombats, and when Down Under was told it was from the aboriginal word, which was closer to ‘whomm-baj’. Certainly some Ozzies pronounce it with the ‘wh’ in the back of their throat.
      True story: was on a train with a bunch of grizzled old farmers, telling them early on my first circumnavigation of Australia that I hadn’t yet seen much wildlife. They politely kept their eyes peeled for the foreigner, and suddenly one pointed, saying, ‘There’s a wooly-back wombat! Scads of ‘em!’ Of course, it was a herd of sheep ;-)
      Since have seen lots of the hairy-nosed variety. Love Australians, too!

    Works well on mute. Especially if you keep hitting replay like me.

    I didn’t know baked potatoes could run so fast!

  14. ThirdShift says:

    4 seconds!? A measly 4 seconds? Of stomping wombat adorbness? Am I in the wrong place? Is this not Cute OVERLOAD? Is there a run on CUTE?

  15. Diane says:

    Me thinks it spied it’s favorite food. On a mission!

  16. jakepets says:

    The trick is “keeping” a wombat. They can dig through concrete.

  17. jen says:

    omg wtf? LoL. so adorable. 4 seconds is not enough!
