Wombats are the only marsupials with forward-facing pouches, which is quite handy for digging without filling their pouch with dirt! These adorable, furry, and round burrowing creatures, typically weighing between 44-77 lbs (20-35 kg) and measuring about 3 feet (1 meter) in length, are surprisingly fast, capable of running up to 25 mph over short distances despite their stocky appearance.
