TWO super-cute and (super-rare) albino wombats rescued from the Australian outback

Southern Hairy Nosed Wombats - also known as 'Bulldozers of the bush' - are often found in savannahs and grass plains in central and southern Australia.

The animals, which live in a maze complex underground tunnels, can grow up to a length of around 40 inches long and 14 inches high.

A fully grown adult can weigh to 32kg or 68lbs - feeding on long grass and weeds - and are usually yellowish or sandy, to brown or black, to grey.

So wildlife rescuers were astonished to scoop up these two rare albino wombats wandering around the south Australian outback.
