You shouldn't make fun of wombats, a wombat can kill a train! One time back in the 80s a wombat that wandered onto some train tracks and the train hit the wombat! The train stopped dead in it's tracks, flipped 100 metres into the air and three hundred people died. The wombat just got up and walked away. It's even said that if a car goes within 25 metres of a wombat, the car's motor will just explode. Wombats are the reason why the movie Christine was a joke when it was released in Australia. Wombats are said to be a bigger problem for car insurance companies than theft or fire, so they don't offer wombat insurance. In fact, your comprehensive car insurance premium increases by over three hundred percent if you live in a designated wombat area! Most Australians are scared when they see a wombat near the road!
