marsupial

Congratulations widdle Wombat! You managed to beat the Panda Bear in last week's Squee Spree versus, and we're all looking forward to squeeing over you!

This wallaby and his human are enjoying a nice race around the house. That is until he decides he's in need of some cold refreshment.

Did you know that Wombats, unlike most marsupials, have backwards-facing pouches? This is because mommy Wombats like to dig, and having a backwards pouch protects the baby from dirt and rocks.

Now you can take your squees with you wherever you go!

Who could possibly love trees more than a creature that spends almost 80 percent of its life sleeping in them? Now that's a true tree hugger!

Sometimes it gets a little chilly down under and the Koalas need to wear sweaters. But I always get a little confused about the seasons in Australia, because summer in the northern hemisphere is winter in the southern hemisphere, and vice versa? Do I have that right?

-Sally Squeeps

Here, let me do that for you.

This sweet little friend is a mystery! Does he live in a tree? In the jungle? Does he eat fruits? Bugs? Flowers? Whatever the answer, I LOVE HIM!

Thanks for the lazy week of Squee Spree koala goodness! Tune in later to see who is in the running for next week's spree!

Now I thought I had seen most all of the squee animals in the world, but this one has me stumped. What is this cute spotted creature with a big button nose? Can you squeeps help me figure it out?

Koala-ala-ala-ala-ala chameleooooon! Okay so it doesn't quite work as a song but I was close! Who do you want to see all week? fuzzy koalas or sneaky, impressive chameleons?

Vote in the comments and don't forget to check back on Monday to see who won!

This baby wombasquee is finally out of his mamma's pouch and ready to explore the world!
