Maria Island in Tasmania is overflowing with animals. They’re everywhere. And when the day comes to an end, you don’t have to look long to find subjects to photograph in front of the setting sun. This wombat was enjoying a late day snack of, well, the same thing it was eating all day and every day — grass. They really are the lawnmowers of the island and keep the open lawns cropped tight.

Wombats are so adorable and you’ve captured this one so well as it is caressed by the setting sun’s rays.

Our Skidmore College Ultimate Frisbee team was called the Wombats! I’m a fan of that animal.
One of my favorites. I love the wombats.
Somehow I made it to 42 without ever seeing a wombat, how is this possible? LOL Love this little guy!!!!
Really cute and surprisingly chunky given the all-grass diet.
