an "awww of the day"


A zookeeper had her hands full on Wednesday tending to what is believed to be the world's "oldest" and "biggest" Wombat in captivity at the Ballarat Wildlife Park in Victoria. The wombat, known as Patrick, was hand-raised after being orphaned as a baby and sadly remains a virgin. He has lived nearly his entire life in captivity at the Ballarat Wildlife Park as he couldn’t defend himself against other wombats in the wild.

I looked him up, he's twice as old as the lady says they live to be in the wild (10-15 years) he's 29...(he'll be 30 in August...)

What a cutie...

The kids who come to park must go crazy over him, and he must love all the attention....
