But why Caseyloveswombats?
Laura asked me today, "But why Caseyloveswombats?" in reference to my gmail accound. To which I responded, "because I love wombats."
It's true. These fuzzy marsupial tanks of an animal have been come my totem. I have come to love their stocky little stature and their potential strength stored deeply in their thick musclature .
In additon to the power that they have stored in them, wombats are cute animals. That’s rather misleading since they are not docile, domesticated created. However, they aren’t typically treatened by man so wombats usually don’t attack. Yet they can and they have.
My true fascination started in Featherdale Wildlife Park almost two years ago. Before I embarked on my trip to Australia, Terry told me that he would disown me if I did not get a picture of myself with a kangaroo. My first chance with a potential picture when during a visit to the Taronga Zoo, however it was not easy to get close to the animals. There was an opportunity to get a picture with a koala, but it cost A$5 and you couldn’t touch or pet the koala. David assured me that I would have a better chance at Featherdale, which we were visiting in a few days.
While dodging the heards of kindergarteners on their fieldtips to Featherdale, we had several photo opportunities with many of the animals. I got the picture I needed of my petting a kangaroo. In addition, there are pictures of me with a koala, a cockatoo and a cassowary. However, for the reasons mentioned above, I sought out and fell in love with the wombat, and I made sure that I got a picture of me petting one.
