Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat (Lasiorhinus latifrons)

[guppiecat]

This is the southern hairy-nosed wombat. At some point in history, the following conversation must have occurred:

“Crikey! I just found a new critter!”

“Looks like a wombat to me.”

“Well sure, but look how hairy it is!”

“Eh, I’ve seen hairier.”

“Yeah, but check out that hairy nose!”

“I saw a wombat with a hairy nose just the other day.”

“Oh yeah!? Where!?”

“I dunno. Up north somewhere, I think.”

“Fine.”
