Peggy, the little wombat will weigh each 30 kg and will have his characteristic clumsy movements, it will be the size of a small piglet… Peggy will surely not be able to keep up with Anzac, but even being clumsy if you need to pick up speed you will have some expertise.

ANZAC, on the other hand it will move much faster and will pop out so efficiently that it can reach high speeds, It will be much higher and they weigh more than her friend the gordita.
