Wombats are funny creatures. They either scurried away as soon as I approached, or they let me get extremely close as if they didn’t have a care in the world. A few even pushed their noses up against my wide angle lens. This guy let me get extremely close, but had the added comfort of being at the opening of his burrow. I was using a fisheye lens when I captured this yawn. Nikon D810 with Sigma 15mm fisheye lens, ISO 800, f/4 at 1/400th of a second
It’s so interesting to see an animal’s teeth. They generally tend to be fascinating and a tad cringe worthy, like this guy’s. I expect him to scratch his belly and look for a beer in the fridge at any moment!

Ha. I can see that Ann. And he could use those teeth to pop the cap off that bottle of beer.
So great! (and email worked today, fyi)
Thanks Amanda. Good to know. Here’s hoping that the problem is fixed.
Great image.
His colouring & texture matches his surroundings so well.
Great that he co-operated so well & that you cud bring the image to us.
Thanks Con. Yes, I was surprised that this particular wombat was so accommodating.
do theses womabats have great eye sight ? ) great pic..
Not great. Their sense of smell and hearing is much better.
Much like a gopher’s teeth? Very cute.
