Introducin’ “Caddy” the wombat.
Caddy has had a rough go of it. His Momma was kilt, leaving him in the good hands of the fine people over at the Warrandyte Wildlife Shelter in Melbourne, Australia.
Thankfully, he seems to have settled in with his Stuffy. Check the Snorfing Act-shons!
Baby wombats like Caddy spend about five (gulp!) months in their mothers’ powsches. Ehn!
Craig Borrow has a nose for news.
How do they not scratch the stuffing out of their mommies?? Maybe the powsches are lined with… what? What could they be lined with that wouldn’t get ripped to shreds by those claws?
Kevlar.
A good Caddy respects his bag!
*polite golf clap*
I see what you did there!
Serious answer: my understanding is the marsupial pouches have a thin mucous lining, like your stomach.
It’s a little early for Wombat Wednesday, dontyathinx?
It’s NEVER too early for Wombat Wednesday.
CO should be making McKayla happy these days:

“It’s pronounced ‘Ca-dey’”
dang, you really can apply Mean Girls to everything
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP
WOT A SCHNOZZ
I think even Jimmy Durante (hot-cha-cha) might be embarrassed (sp) with THAT nosicle!!!!
(signed– REALLY)
something funky is happening with Google/ Word Press. I already signed this page out from this other person’s name into mine but this still shows his. I’m confused.
From Fird Birfle, not the name that shows below.
herm…. i wondered about that.
I PROMISE the ‘pooter was playin’ mind games wit’ me. I think I’ve gotten FARTHER/ more-completely logged-out, now …. using ‘pooters that 150 people share ….I thought it had been cleared/ logged already.
it happens to me, too.
Fird…what are you dong Fird?
augh I mean *doing* … not what I wrote.
Oy.
Fird, I think it has something to do with space aliens interfering with the computers.
Saffron, you didn’t get moderated for that????!!!!!
sk’mom: that scenario seems quite likely!!!
Wombats are awesome! I am sad about Caddy’s mom, but at least he is being well cared for. Thanks to all at the Warrandyte Wildlife Center for looking after this little one!
Gday Little CaDey Mate!. And an extra Boop because that nose just calls out for a boop!
And an extra snuggle for a sweet baby morsel who lost his mama. Thank heaven for res-cuters, foster mamas and dads, and all manner of kind animal savers. They do the work of the angels.
Wow, is his name Freddy by any chance? Cute but ouch!
When I saw the second picture, my mental hovertext was “Ta-daaa!”
Oh my gawd, I never thought I’d say this… but are wombats the new sloths? I didn’t realize baby wompats were so cute! love the little smiles.
sigh… wombats* (will I ever leave a comment that is typo free!?)
I think they *might* be the new sloths. I am completely smitten with these little guys!
they’re about as unslothy as it gets, though

Apples and oranges, I think. The wonderful thing about sloths is their constant beatific serenity. Wombats are more cute in the traditional sense, but sloths have personality.
I think we have to write Dogue magazine immediately to tell them wombats are the new sloths for spring [Down Undah, don'tchat know].
Personally, dahling *adjusts cat-eye glasses, drops jacket on admin’s desk like Miranda in “Devil Wears Prada”*, Wombats ARE the new Wombats, not just for spring, but all year long! Sloths are, well, … Sloths.
Never as good as the real mama, but at least he/she is living in style. That powsche is the height of wombat fashion. Everyone is jealous.
