Australian Wildlife From The Roadside. Part II.
The first set of shots are of a female Wombat and her young. The wombat is a burrowing Marsupial.The female has a backward facing pouch for its young.This enables it to dig without dirt getting in its pouch. Wombats move slowly and are common road kill in the central to southern states of Australia. Weighing 20 to 30 kg and being up to a metre long they can give your car a good knock. Cattle farmers don't like 'em cos their burrows are large and cattle have been known to slip and break legs. The second set are of a Magpie. These birds have an iconic "warble" but are sons of bitches during the breeding season. They swoop any person near their tree and terrorize pedestrians and cyclists to any onlookers amusement |

We've got a dozen or more juvenile magpies in our street atm, they pretty tame they'll eat out of my hand. It's the nesting females that fucking sky bomb you .
