wombat nation.

this is why we need time machines...

i could be riding one of these to work every morning.

it's real by the way, or was.

it's a diprotodon opatatum. basically a giant wombat.

7000 lbs and 14 ft long. yes please.

lived in australia as recently as 50,000 years ago.

so our time machine doesn't even have to go that far!

captured at io9.
