My then-girlfriend Sara and I visited a koala park just outside of Sydney, where we got to see all kinds of Aussie animals. This is one of them, a wombat. Note the efforts the handler is going to to keep the thing quiet. Apparently, wombats are the Aussie equivalent of badgers, but I think that anyone who knows anything about badgers would doubt the resemblance goes further than a vague one of appearance (imagine holding a badger like that?!).
