Wombats, like kangaroos and koalas, are native only to mainland Australia and some of its surrounding islands, including Maria Island National Park, where this photo was taken.

But many admit that it’s also just a good excuse to share photos of wombats and eat cake, preferably chocolate.
We did not invent this, honest
