This is Blossom, one of the Southern Hairy-Nosed wombats that resides at Yookamurra Sanctuary near Sedan, South Australia. Blossom likes to fool visitors with a few quick manic spins and then a direct charge. Wombats do not eat people, but this particular animal has developed a taste for human flesh. She has claimed several victims, all of whom have thus far lived to tell their respective tales. Don't believe anyone who tells you that Australia is not a dangerous place.
