Cradle Valley in Tasmania is one of the best places in the world to see wombats. Although they are by nature agressively
solitary creatures you can often see a number of them within a relatively small area as they chew their way across the sub-alpine
grasslands of the valley. This female is contemplating the photographer over a mouthful of grass. She looks as if she has a bit of
a beer belly but it is actually a baby in the pouch. The pouch of a wombat opens backwards, so the baby sticks its head out from
between mum's back legs. These creature produce large, distinctive droppings with which they mark their territories
(see http://www.pbase.com/gehyra/image/38902120). Could this be the origin of the term "pull your head in!"?
