08.01.2022 Happy World Wombat Day to our very own cute couple, Sally and Clyde! Sally is 3 years old and our old man Clyde is 17. Wombats can live up to around the age of 26. They love to eat grass and sweet potato, and chew on tree branches. See them every day for their 10.30am breakfast (other than that, they're generally asleep!). Something you may not know about wombats is that their poops are cube shaped! This is so when they mark their territory it doesn’t roll away! Smart, yes?
