Poor wombat with mange, eating grass right by the roadside, apparently oblivious to any passing vehicles. I assume the green colouring means that it is being treated?

That or he's a punk wombat.

Hope ACT Wildlife or Wombat Rescue ACT know about it and as you say are treating it. Poor wombat hope it will be okay. Thanks Christine for noticing it.
Just saw a FB clip on Wombat Rescue ACT and looks like they had found that wombat and were treating it as it had the green patch on it.
