A burrowing marsupial native to Australia, wombats are known for their strong legs, sharp claws and stout bodies. And now, they can be associated with having the zoomies, too! In a recent TikTok shared by @hollyadam_, a wombat at a zoo in Australia was filmed having the time of her life, romping around her enclosure with pure and unbridled joy.

In the viral video, we see a wombat, believed to be Elle, at the Australia Zoo sprinting and rolling around the grass. Now and then, she stops abruptly, almost like dogs do mid-zoomie, before leaping around and continuing to prance.

“This is most likely Elle. Elle is one of their more playful wombats. I use to be a keeper at Australia Zoo and Elle would always make your day some how 🥰,” shared one TikTok user in a comment.

So, I guess I need to go to Australia now so I can experience Elle’s zoomies IRL!
