Wombat Love ^.^

cutest thing, I've searched up all day!
This is an actual animal (although it looks like a stuffed animal), known as a wombat. They have pouches like kangaroos, to hold their young ones. This is what the babies look like.

Fact: This large, pudgy mammal is a marsupial, or pouched animal, found in Australia and on scattered islands nearby. Like other marsupials, wombats give birth to tiny, undeveloped young that crawl into pouches on their mothers' bellies. A wombat baby remains in its mother's pouch for about five months before emerging. Even after it leaves the pouch, the young animal will frequently crawl back in to nurse or to escape danger. By about seven months of age, a young wombat can care for itself.
