Keeping The Wombat entertained

What does The Wombat do when he's stuck in an airport with ages to wait?

He has a beer.


And then he samples his companion's margarita...


Hopefully he wasn't too drunk to be allowed on to the flight!

Taking The Wombat to the ballgame

While in Seattle, The Wombat went to watch a baseball game at the Safeco field - the Seattle Mariners v the Oakland A's.


He cheered on both teams pretty indiscriminately (after all, what does a Wombat know about baseball?) The Mariners won, anyway!


Edited: I got the away team wrong (originally put the LA Angels). Well, I did say The Wombat knows nothing about baseball...

The Wombat does Seattle

The Wombat was supposed to be visiting the scenic parts of Seattle. However, all the caffeine he consumed at a genuine Seattle Starbucks addled his little brain a bit.


Which meant that the highlights of his visit included the Giant Shoe Museum at Pike Place Market...


He also found this interesting book at the market.


Eventually, the caffeine wore off, and he fell soundly asleep on this very tasteful bedspread in his hotel.

The Wombat in disguise?

The Wombat likes parties. He especially likes fancy dress parties. And he thinks he looks rather dashing with a moustache. Opinions?

How the mighty have... shrunk?

Scientists in Australia have identified the skeleton of a three-tonne wombat the size of a 4x4, which lived two million years ago (see the BBC story).

What with only being 14cm from nose to tail-tag, The Wombat has gone into temporary hiding out of sheer envy.
