The good news is this comparaison from a friend's blog, who maintains a "quote of the day" file:

Worth noting for comparison, wombats in ordinary circumstances: "Wombats defend home territories centred on their burrows, and they react aggressively to intruders." -- Wikipedia

"wombats in fire effected areas are not only allowing other animals to take shelter in their deep, fire-resistant burrows but are actively herding fleeing animals into them. We're seeing more leadership and empathy from these guys than the entire Federal government." -- Riff Raff (@RichardAOB), 2020-01-11

...which I suppose the last sentence is just the bad news, as well. OTOH, the good news there, is that the last statement might just be cynical hyperbole.
