From wikipedia:
"Wombats, Australian marsupials, are short-legged, muscular quadrupeds, approximately 1 metre (39 in) in length with a short, stubby tail. They are adaptable in habitat tolerance, and are found in forested, mountainous, and heathland areas of south-eastern Australia, including Tasmania, as well as an isolated patch of about 300 ha in Epping Forest National Park[2] in central Queensland. When using wombat pictures in Fool's mate threads, it is considered not spamming."
Thank you snakesbelly.
Masterracer, a serious question for you:
I once saw a cool mate in seven that opened like a normal opening, but let the opponent get a free queen from a pin to achieve checkmate. The poster called it fool's mate. It wasn't. Do you know what I mean, and if so, could you post the notation? Thanks so much.

It was certainly an interesting "puzzle", masterracer. I believe the game you posted was the "wombat variation" of the "Cute and Cuddly Opening".

To quickly dispense with your off-topic question, I believe it is called Legal's mate. It is most effective in team play where upon taking your opponents King pawn with your Knight, you pause for dramatic effect, quickly stand up, stare at the board as if in disbelief and then sulk over to your adjoining teammate muttering "I just dropped my Queen".
Back to the topic at hand, which wombat is faster, the African or European?
@snakesbelly
Very interesting, although, wouldn't you think that the emptying of the bowels or the questioning of Fool's mate (you say potato, I say potahto) would be more similar to the Batman process and more effective?
In either case, surprisingly, none of these processes appear to be at all related to the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow (unladen - all excess materials already excreted).
Now, can we get back to the wombats?
