Is disappointing the wombat did not make your list. It's been put down too much .. Human relations

History

Depictions of the animals in rock art are exceptionally rare, though examples estimated to be up to 4,000 years old have been discovered in the Wollemi National Park.[19] The wombat is depicted in aboriginal Dreamtime as an animal of little worth. The mainland stories tell of the wombat as originating from a person named Warreen whose head had been flattened by a stone and tail amputated as punishment for selfishness. In contrast, the Tasmanian aboriginal story first recorded in 1830 tells of the wombat (known as the drogedy or publedina) the great spirit Moihernee had asked hunters to leave alone. In both cases, the wombat is regarded as having been banished to its burrowing habitat.[20] Estimates of wombat distribution prior to European settlement are that numbers of all three surviving species were prolific and that they covered a range more than ten times greater than that of today.[3]

The name "wombat" comes from the now nearly-extinct Darug language spoken by the aboriginal Darug people, who originally inhabited the Sydney area.[21]

That story is more interesting than the simpleness of a virgin birth, even though it too lacks the scientific base Darwin's theory has.

LOLs - Precise care and a precision approach is necessary here to corral trolls while at the same time
allowing them freedom which others of their conservative ilk do not offer to us good guys on their boards.
