Have you ever seen a wombat sitting on Santa's lap all set to make her Christmas wish? No? Well, here you are:
Merry Christmas.

The adorable three-year-old wombat, named Boo, was orphaned when she was just a baby and has since been adopted by wildlife presenter Nick Petropoulos, 29.
While she was just a tiny baby, Boo's mum was tragically run over by a car, leaving the little wombat all alone until Nick stepped up.
The pair live in Victoria, Australia, together and this year - as a festive treat - Nick took her to meet Santa himself, thus creating the best photograph to ever be taken.
Nick said: "Our family are big animal lovers, when Boo was orphaned, we got the correct permits to keep her and have hand raised her ever since.

"Today she visits schools and kindergartens teaching people about the importance of Australian wildlife.
"What Boo really wants for Christmas is for people all over the world to watch out for wildlife as they travel around this Christmas, so no other animals are orphaned like she was.
"She would also like some extra carrots."
I hope you're listening, Santa, because if my pal Boo wakes up without extra carrots on Christmas Day you'll have me to answer to.

Nick and Boo travel across Australia together to teach children about wildlife and also make education videos.
Nick said: "Wicked Wildlife is a mobile display, like a wildlife park on wheels.

"We take native Australian animals such as venomous snakes, possums, pythons, lizards, crocodiles and of course Boo to schools and events all over Victoria and South Australia teaching people about wildlife.
"We also put together weekly YouTube videos which have had over half a million views."
Boo isn't the first animal to get herself into the festive spirit, last week a whopping 17 sausage dogs were photographed all lined up, wearing Christmas outfits.
Be prepared to say 'ahh':
How cute is that, eh?

Twenty-year-old Liam Beach - who owns Buster, Daisy, Ziggy, Wallie, Zac, Bonnie, Saffie, Duke, Diamond, Ruby, Kizzy, Sammy, Kansy, Kiki, Lottie, Benji and Dudley - managed to capture the perfect shot of his pack of pooches.
He said: "I have done Christmas pictures of the dogs previously dressed up for Christmas on the sofa and thought I need to top them so thought I'd do it on the stairs this year.
"I thought that's a challenge, so I had to go one better to prove people wrong with the dogs all dressed up ready for Christmas and I thought it would be funny to see them all dressed up in their little outfits."
