This is Annie the baby wombat, running and playing with wildlife carer Michelle at Dreamworld (Gold Coast, Australia) on 13 August 2010. I think Annie was about 18 months old and 7 kilograms. Annie was fast! And very friendly and playful. She liked climbing up into people's laps and tunneling under their legs. Her favourite food was grass. She had a toy wombat the same size as herself to play with - she liked sitting on top of it. Annie is a Common Wombat, she was rescued in Tasmania as an orphan at about 6 months old. Her friend Otto (a male wombat about the same age) stayed out the back because he was getting a bit naughty and nibbling on people!
