## Caption

The wombat might be built like a barrel and have the strength of one, but this iconic Australian mammal is currently being floored by a tiny skin mite that causes intense itching. And the parasite could wipe out the entire species unless we help them fight back. You’ll see the surprising way this happens on #VetGoneWild.
