There's gotta be a great pun here somewhere about our very own Wombat.

I've said it before and I know it makes me very un-Australian... but how one can think a wombat "cute" is beyond me
Bent, if you don't like them, just hit them with a shovel.

-laugh- See, now I know you've never come across one of these things. Like koalas, wombats are living rock covered in fur. Shovels wouldn't even dent the animals. A semi might do some damage, but I reckon even a truck would need some work done to it after hitting one.
Nice try with the photos, tdw, but I've been made immune to such things by constant exposure to kitten videos on YouTube. My heart is made of stone and... oh, how CUTE is this!
..and if you think Wombats are nasty critters to hit whilst out on a sunday drive in the country, that good 'ol Australian icon the Emu, is probably the nastiest.
After seeing the undriveable remains of one car that hit one, it seems to me that God designed Emus knowing Mr Ford would invent the motor car: their several-hundred kilo wrecking-ball torso is set about windscreen height on two spindly chopsticks which shatter on impact and the quantity of blood and feathers these things will shed when inside a car has to be seen to be believed. To say nothing of the damage the beak could do to the infortunate occupants if it's still alive. Fortunately, there aren't many around to hit..
Yessiree, we have some interesting roadkill out here.
