Tiny and not what many people get to see

It always amazes me as to how tiny these creatures are and how big and strong they become. This is a 100g wombat whose mother was killed. Thankfully our lovely neighbour down the road checked the pouch. In the summer months, they can survive 1-2 days in the pouch so it is always important to check a dead wombat. And I know, not many people like to do this so if there is a joey in the pouch, we just get people to bring us the dead mother and we sort the rest out as the joey's can be injured if taken out incorrectly.
