Lucca Amorim, Wandering Whiskers (Wildlife and Animal 2019)

Wombats are curious creatures. Although they are known to be nocturnal, they can be found wandering around during the day. The first photo was captured when an adult male wombat slowly made his way out of his burrow. The second photo is a portrait of a wombat as he contemplates the horizon. The third picture is another portrait of a wombat as he struts through the grass in search of juicy leaves. The last photo was captured while a wombat slowly sniffed the leaves around him in search of the juiciest leaf.
