something wild wildlife sanctuary

this wombat liked to be petted, but only by the man who feeds him.

some real Tasmanian devils. they look small and kind of cute, but they can bite through bones (in the wild these are the animals that eat the dead bodies, so they normally wouldn't bite you if you come across one).


a baby possum, raised in the sanctuary since he doesn't have a mom anymore.
. another possum. grumpy animals that aren't social at all, so if you have them living on the roof of your house, you're likely to hear a lot of fighting possums in the night (which I had at the first 2 places where I've lived... can tell you, it's not funny at all!).
a sweet koala, happy because they came to get him so he could be touched by all of us (he climmed down to wait for the man to get him before the man even entered the cage).
the kangaroos at the sanctuary had a lot of space and where free to go, but choose to stay here.
