Well, there is such a thing as a wombat. Whether or not there are wombats indigenous to Alabama, I couldn't tell you.
You know what? I was so intrigued by your question that I googled wombats, and this is what I found:
Wombats are Australian marsupials; they are short-legged, muscular quadrupeds, approximately one metre (3 feet) in length with a very short tail. The name wombat comes from the Eora Aboriginal community who were the original inhabitants of the Sydney area. Wombats dig extensive burrow systems with rodent-like front teeth and powerful claws. Although mainly crepuscular and nocturnal, wombats will also venture out to feed on cool or overcast days. They are not as commonly seen as many animals, but leave ample evidence of their passage, treating fences as a minor inconvenience to be gone through or under and leaving distinctive cubic scats. Wombats are herbivores, their diet consisting mostly of grasses, sedges, herbs, bark and roots. They are preyed on by the Tasmanian Devil. Their fur color can vary from a sandy color to brown, or from grey to black.
So, no, apparently there are no wombats in Alabama. Bummer.

Yes, there is. I've seen them myself. Alabama Wombat are belligerent, highly intoxicated women frequenting the local pubs on Friday and Saturday night! They are usually seen seated on a stool at the end of the bar, puffing on a cigarette and talking loudly to anyone who will listen.
