In 1990, three wombats from a zoo on the island of Tasmania arrived as animal goodwill ambassadors for Ikeda and its sister city, Launceston, Australia.
Wombats are very rare in Japan, and are kept only at two zoos in Japan: the Mayakizan Zoo here and a zoo in Nagano Prefecture.

The second generation of the zoo's wombats has now been born, and they are showing us their adorable and energetic appearance.
