Who declares these days? I also saw it mentioned in Australian Geographic in the announcement for Roz Holmes award.

The older baby snuggle up closer with her nose up against the others nose and everything quieten down. I have never seen any reference to this type of behaviour. Has anybody else seen similar behaviour?

In DIC the body's natural ability to regulate blood clotting does not function properly. This causes the blood's clotting cells (platelets) to clump together and clog small blood vessels throughout the body. This excessive clotting damages organs, destroys blood cells and depletes the supply of platelets and other clotting factors so that the blood is no longer able to clot ...

I think Barbara Trigs may have made comment and I think Clive Marks may have as well. It is an interesting question. It would be interesting if anybody can offer evidence or a contact to find whether there is any actual sightings of some poor beastie being crushed. Wombats certainly will push against ...

wombats in NSW.
On plains west of Bourke, towards Mount Gunderbooka, years ago I came
across some large (?old) burrows. Nobody in Bourke could tell me what
there are. If found in the eastern highlands one would immediately think
"wombat".

They are being raised together by wildlife carer Linda Sauvarin, who bottle-feeds them every four hours and uses heat pads to protect their naked bodies.

And if so how do you tell with a wombat?
