... I think I hurt myself with the OVERWHELMING CUTENESS!!!!!

WOMBAT CUTENESS AT 3 a.m.?!!!!

[weyrdbird.livejournal.com]

Insomnia, what a wonderful thing. *NOT*:D

Cuteness is evil on this level. Now I'm even *MORE* awake!

BABY WOMBAT!!

[trede.livejournal.com]

Oooh, very cute!

But what's that red-headed mammal in the wedge-tailed eagle photo? ^ ^

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

That's a short fat bastard

That just so happens to look like...

...Sean Atkins, aka Samwise Gamgee.

All hail Den Whitton the Brave!

I only look brave. I was shit-scared of the eagle.

square wombat poo

[bridgette01.livejournal.com]

hiya, these photos are just toooo cute. I've stumbled across you, as you do in LJ via someone who needed some animal advice, and I gotta say, you deserve a medal. These lucky animals.

also, maybe you can confirm something I was told yesterday at Steve Irwan's animal park - that wombats have square poo??!!?? I made a point of finding some while there, and I can kind of see the squareness, as in it doesn't taper, but all I can think about, is the poor wombat bottom!!! Maybe Mr Claws can tell us the whole story. :) :) :)
ps: hope you don't mind if I add you to my friends list?

They are little fibrous cubes with rounded corners. It's a dry environment thing. I should mention that I didn't raise any of these. I only do bats and echidnas.

If this job doesn't pan out I'll be sending my resume to Australia Zoo. "IT everything with own car and rabies shots"

*thud*

cuteness overload!!!


*squee*

The Reusable Wombat!

[kelloggs2066.livejournal.com]

Wow! I had no idea wombats were so resiliant! :o

Reusable
Washable
Autoclavable
Folds Flat for easy storage!

Re: The Reusable Wombat!

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

You're very silly, you know that?

Re: The Reusable Wombat!

[kelloggs2066.livejournal.com]

No. No. Not at all.

I'm completely serious.

All the time.

Really! :D

[copperwolf.livejournal.com]

Australian possums are a lot cuter than American possums.

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

They are really friendly until they mature, then they become biting, scratching bastards.

[moonrose.livejournal.com]

i was thinking about the same thing... *grin* the ones I've seen here in Texas are all these enormous small-dog sized things I wouldn't get near with a 10' poking stick.

Awe!

[tendyl.livejournal.com]

So cute! I had to share at work! I love the crawling into the couch!!!

[ursulav.livejournal.com]

GO MISTER CLAWS!

God, the cuteness! That little wombat butt! That little wombat face! Aigggh!

Overloading...

[lizardling.livejournal.com]

Augh! *gnn*

will...not...die...from...cuteness!

AWWW! *So* Cute! Wombat Bottom! *squee*

[mactavish.livejournal.com]

I have a cute wombat (http://songweaver.com/lists/wombat.html) bottom!

[ceruleanst.livejournal.com]

There's cute and then there's irresistable. That one pic of Clancey compels me to put my own nose up to the screen and make foozy noises. I know it's just a photograph but when I scroll it onto the screen my brain chemicals make me lean forward and go hello nosey face who's a cute fluffy roo yes you are

Zebra in the Kitchen

[ursuscal.livejournal.com]

Sometime in the 1960s, Jay North, better known as "Dennis the Menace" on TV, made a stink-bomb of a movie that not even Martin Milner and Andy Devine could salvage. It was about a pre-adolescent boy forced to move from the country to the city, and give his "pet" cougar to the zoo.

But Batty, his character had *nothing* on you! Seeing all those roos in the kitchen was reminiscent of either a Crocodile Dundee or Yahoo Serious movie (sorry to possibly rub salt in a stereotypical wound by mentioning them). My Dog, but you must have fun!

Re: Zebra in the Kitchen

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

I should stress that these aren't my animals. They live with a fellow rescuer who has raised them, except for the eagle of course. THat came in injured, fully gorwn and pissed off.

[jynxgirl.livejournal.com]

What exactly is a Mr. Claws?
SO CUTE!!!!!
*gushes*

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

Claws is a 1/2 grown wombat. They're vegetarians who live in burrows, hence the claws.

[oceansedge.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwwwwwwwww
Geeez.... now I'm REALLY missing my animal rescue days. Even if they were only 'ordinary' animals like raccoons and groundhogs and crows and the occassional deer.

Pssst... did you know that mother nature makes baby animals CUTER on purpose? Apparently cuter babies get fed more, taken better care of, and thrive more readily?

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

There *are* the ordinary animals for me. Raccoons are exotic.

[oceansedge.livejournal.com]

My babies...

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

Oi! I'm not cute!

Grr.

[wabbitcalif.livejournal.com]

Oi! You are SO cute - and fiesty, too, that add's a point to your cuteness factor.

You can go on denying it if you want to, but you'd be lyon...

Ohmygosh, tell me that sponsorship involves having a baby animal live with me until it can be realeased in the wild.

Oh wait. This is New York City. We don't have wild marsupials.
