Does anyone know about an origami Wombat?
I got a stuffed baby wombat for my birthday which has travelled to Rome, Mongolia, Russia, China and the South Pole.
Take a look at The Wombat Blog:

But, going back to Origami: does anyone know about an origami Wombat???

The Origami Database lists two wombat models, no idea how they look like though...

I want to say Steven Casey had one, possibly in the 2003 Folding Australia CD, but I could very well be wrong, and I don't have the CD around me anywhere to check.

No we took it on a trip to Rome and as a joke put it on a photo. Now friends like to bring it all over the globe. It just got back from the South Pole (more pics to come soon!) and it will go to Washington DC and Ne York City in May

That's all I can find other than the two forementioned ones. You might even be able to take a koala and modify it some to make a wombat. There are definately going to be more koalas than wombats.

Of course, that's a slight modification of the traditional pig...

The mouse in John Montroll's Origami for the Enthusiast with the tail folded shorter works as the best origami wombat I've seen.
