Wombat assaults 60-year-old man outside his caravanA MAN has been attacked by a wombat at Flowerdale, north-east of Melbourne.
The ABC and The Age reports the 60-year-old camper - whose name was not released - was bitten on the arms and legs as he stepped out of his caravan this morning. He was taken to the Northern Hospital where he was in a stable condition.
Jeff McClure from the Department of Sustainability and Environment told the ABC it was highly unusual for a wombat to attack a person.
"Wombats that are in an advance stage of mange will become very agitated from the suffering and the irritation of the mange," he said.
