Note: The wombats shown in the picture are Bared-nosed wombats (Vombatus ursinus), but I don’t have any toys of the Northern hairy nosed wombat. If anyone knows where to get them, please let me know!

This is my entry for the #TSbakeOff2026. This time, I’ve recreated a #wombat cube-shaped poop, along with their habitat, grasslands and burrows. I hope you like it😍 I'm in love this initiative! Northern hairy nosed wombat (Lasiorhinus krefftii) - Mammals - Critically Endangered - Open Category

“Si se elimina al lobo, se desestabiliza todo el ecosistema”
El lobo (Canis lupus) es una especie clave en los ecosistemas europeos, cuyo estatus legal de protección ha experimentado cambios recientes. En 2024, el Convenio de Berna rebajó su categoría de “especie estrictamente protegida” a “protegida” a propuesta de la Unión Europea.
