@bendessen: Why do wombats scratch? Meet Sylvie, our resident rescue wombat and professional itch-scratcher! Wombats have incredibly strong claws, designed for digging elaborate underground burrows. But those claws also come in pretty handy for a good old-fashioned scratch! Like us, wombats scratch to relieve the occasional itch and help keep themselves comfortable. And as Sylvie demonstrates, sometimes nothing beats a really good scratch! • • • • #wombat #babywombat #joey #orphan #wildlife
