GIANT WOMBATS

Last week I went to the Australian Museum. I saw lots of neat stuff--VERY cool rocks, lots of crazy birds, and an exhibition of award-winning wildlife photography. But the best part was that I learned about GIANT WOMBATS.

GIANT WOMBATS were the largest marsupials EVER. They roamed Australia in the Pleistocene. It ate leaves and grass. Presumably: a LOT of leaves and grass. In the museum, they have a scale model of a GIANT WOMBAT. Because I was so in awe of the fake GIANT WOMBAT, I didn't actually read anything about it, so I actually learned all of this on Wikipedia. When I stood beside the GIANT WOMBAT, this is what I felt like:

GIANT WOMBAT and human

In summary: HOLY CRAP GIANT WOMBATS!!!
