The Buzz Log - A Good Day to Be a Wombat - Yahoo! Buzz: "Australian news outlets have gone wild about the story of an American man who left $8 million to the 'non profit organisation specialising in large scale rescue and rehabilitation of the Southern Hairy Nosed Wombat.' The donation will come in $1-million-per-year increments, starting next year. His family has asked, perhaps not too surprisingly, for anonymity.
As Forbes.com writes, the man visited the organization several years ago and went on a tour of the surrounding areas, where he was shown wild wombats that had been injured, starved, or diseased. A rep for the group says the man was clearly moved by what he saw, and he never forgot the experience. Years later, a little-known organization is $8 million richer."
