Wombat

Wombats are marsupials, and are short legged quadropeds.
According to creation science theories, after the Flood, Wombats may have joined the kangaroos that bred from the Ark passengers and then migrated to Australia. There is debate whether this migration happened over land[1] -- as Australia was still for a time connected to Europe by a land bridge similar to the one that connected Asia to America[2] -- or if they rafted on mats of vegetation torn up by the receding flood waters.[1] Another theory is that God simply generated wombats into existence there.
Secular evolution holds them to have evolved from Diprotodontians about 55-65 million years ago.
