Olga is coming in hot for #WombatDay! Three southern hairy nosed wombats call the L.A. Zoo home: Olga, Murray, and Richard. Olga is 10 years old, and arrived in 2016 from the Adelaide Zoo as a part of a Species Survival Plan breeding recommendation. Murray is the oldest at 13 years old, and was the first of this species to be housed at the L.A. Zoo. Together, they produced Richard, who is now 5 years old. "These three wombats are fantastic ambassadors," says Senior Animal Keeper Kevin Gorowski. Guests are often delighted spotting this adorable marsupial in the nocturnal Australia house, where they exhibit natural behaviors such as burrowing, foraging, dust-bathing, and playing.
