This little animal is getting far to much attention... I mean like come on. People don't argue whether it it has evolved or not, if you can find the link then thats great. Joshua stop being so combative. Ed you always take a beating and I am glad you are stiking to your "guns". 2 or 3 of you work on this, or peacefully discuss this. Thats all folks.--[[User:Will N.|Will N.]] 11:30, 7 May 2007 (EDT)

that a rear-facing pouch is inconclusive at best. Here's a hypothetical evolutionary sequence:
 +
 +
<ol>
 +
<li>Wombat is born with a mutation causing the pouch to face backwards</li>
 +
 +
Now, at least one of at least two scenarios can occur:
 +
 +
<li>Wombat is now able to dig w/o killing young, thus conferring an advantage</li>
 +
 +
or
 +
 +
<li>Wombat's young have a greater incidence of survival, thus also conferring a benefit.
 +
<br><br>
 +
Hypothetically, we could also imagine a scenario where the wombat's young better survived because predators were acclimated to forward-facing pouches. --[[User:Linus M.|Liπus the Turbohacker]]<sup>([[User talk:Linus M.|contact me]])</sup> 13:03, 11 May 2007 (EDT)
