The wombat is under threat from an agonising disease. 101 East meets the woman trying to save them.
They call Donna Stepan the Wombat Whisperer.
At her unique animal sanctuary in Australia, she works around the clock to save injured and orphaned wombats.
She has a dire warning about her much-loved wombats: "They'll be on the critically endangered list within 20 years. No doubt in my mind."
Donna wants the world to know about the fatal and contagious parasitic disease plaguing Australia's wombats - sarcoptic mange.
