The Oldest Wombat That Ever Lived

Patrick was the biggest and oldest wombat living anywhere. Although the typical wombat lives for about 15 years, Patrick survived to reach 32-years-old, twice their expected lifetime. He weighed a stunning 88 pounds and led a full life. You can see that even the handler struggles to pick him up.

These furry creatures are native to Australia, and Patrick was beloved by everyone who met him. He spent most of his life in the Ballarat Wildlife Park before his passing in 2017. The crew wept over his death; he seemed like a huge baby.
