Wombats
Wombats can possible best be described as furry bricks with legs.
They are short, heavy and very solid and while they usually move
slowly they can run surprising fast for an animal with such short
legs. These are the heavies of the animal thieves. Being nocturnal
they don't really pose too much of a problem but they are incredibly
strong and have been rumoured to tear their way into a tent to get
at fresh fruit. They are very timid and easily scared away.
The best place to find wombats is in the alpine regions or East
Gippsland.
