Patrick the wombat gets Tinder account for his 30th birthday

All right, everyone, get ready to swipe right.

One perpetually single wombat named Patrick is officially on the market for a mate, and like everyone else who is still single, you can now find him on Tinder.

Patrick, or Paddy, as his friends call him, is the oldest wombat living in captivity, and for his 30th birthday, his trainers at Ballarat Wildlife Park signed him up for the dating app.
 
“He’s on Tinder and hoping to attract a similar female,” park owner Julia Leonard told the Sydney Morning Herald.

“He’s after someone who enjoys late night, especially dusk and dawn, can dig a good hole and enjoys feeding him carrots,” she added.

His trainers also bought him a wheelbarrow for his birthday, so if he does find someone, he can ride up in style.

While Patrick hasn’t found Mrs. Right just yet, the bachelor is far from lonely — he has over 33,000 Facebook fans.

Best of luck on Tinder, Patrick. It’s a zoo out there!
