Rampaging Wombats

Why not ? We have a Badger Attack.........it is logical we must prepare for the Aussie Wombat Attack. Double edged Butanaki please ! ;)
 
Nothing shorter than Ruck/Rucki will work on them!
They're quite fast for the way they look...

Yep--obviously built to deceive. That's what makes them so dangerous. Viciously vapid vermin.

And they're not afraid of you... You can drive a car to a foot away from one and it'll still won't get out of the way!

It's a good thing that their population is kept in check by creatures as wild and vicious as Wombats themselves, Tasmanians.... ;)
 
I once drove over a wombat in a Hilux. Both its back legs stopped working, but it ran off anyway. I didn't want to leave it to suffer so I got out and chased after it - it got about 50m or so before I caught up. I stood in front of it and grabbed it by the shoulders but even though it only had two legs going I couldn't stop it from walking forwards. I had to put both hands on top of its head with my whole body weight pressing down so that it was pushing its own head into the ground as it walked forward; that was the only way to stop it.

When you carry a wombat you turn it upside down and grab its legs close to the body otherwise it will bite you... You should try carrying an angry full size wombat, it's pretty difficult!! They like being in small tight places that are like a burrow so when I got it back to the car I wrapped it in a couple of jackets and stuffed it in my backpack and it finally seemed to calm down. I took it to the wildlife carer in the nearest town; they had a large mound in their backyard with wombat burrows in it for all the wombats they took care of. We put it in a basket and closed the lid and it seemed happy enough at that point or at least it gave up wriggling. I'm not sure what happened to it after that but they thought it would be OK.

I dunno. Sounds like a scenario for the beginning of a horror show if you ask me. :eek:

"...It was three days after the radiation treatments began on the wounded wombat that Ivan, the lab tech, discovered the animal was apparently growing, its body changing, becoming more powerful, its jaws beginning to extend visibly beyond the lip line.

"Have you ever seen anything like this?" Ivan asked his supervisor.

"Only in drawings," the supervisor replied. "There's a bloke on the mainland...Stanley, I think his name is. Seems to have a penchant for creating images of the surreal..."

I can confirm there are more wombats and fewer people around that area nowadays. I thought it was because the local logging industry wound down some years ago, but who knows?
 
Better to have, and not need, than to need, and not have. Especially in the case of rampaging wombats.

I say your justified Mike and if theres something at Blade 2015 you think you'll need for those vicious wombats just holler
the wife and I will be glad to help get you a wombat defender.

Sounds like a good name for a new Busse design.
 
I can't imagine that would be much fun...Violent animals should all look violent. Crocodiles, snakes, spiders, rats and dinosaurs all look violent and they should, that wombat is full of trickery.
