Adorable Baby Wombat Runs Towards Camera
Derrick the baby wombat was rescued after his mother was sadly killed by a passing car. He was named after the man who found him and is now being looked after by a local woman in Tasmania, who uses the appropriate title of “the Wombat Lady of Flinders Island.” This video shows Derrick running happily on the beach while being filmed by photographer Sean Scott.

At first I thought it was a bat because of the name. Looks kind of like a rat

Wombats are small marsupials that if I’m not mistaking are kin to the kangaroo.
