    Friendly reminder that wombats are BIG

    Man holding a wombat. The animal is almost as large as he is.

    No vampire wombats that we know of.

    It’s entirely possible that every scientist that went to study them is now a bloodless dessicated corpse slowly turning to jerky under the Australian sun.

      Nah, see, they’re native to southern Siberia. That’s why people don’t find them: you’d never know to look for wombats in Siberia.

    Wombats actually are true bats. What we think of as bats is a quirky of convergent evolution. Nature is wild!

    But wombbats are. While cockroaches crawl into the urethra of the penis, wombbats fly into vaginas, then crawl into the womb through the cervix, where they’ll nest.
