i live in the desert, and a lot of the mountains here have large caves. when i was a kid my dad used to tell me that wombats lived in the caves. i didnt even know what a wombat was. i figured they were ferrocious animals that could eat a little kid. it wasnt until i was watching the discovery channel when i was a teenager that i learned what a real wombat was. and i do not beleive that they are indigenous to the nevada desert.
