Wombles, although a protected species, are now extinct in the UK due to the aggressive and illegal actions of the groundskeepers of the All England Lawn Tennis Club.
They can no longer be found either underground or overground.
Sorry - but it’s not a fact unless you end the post with FACT! (all caps, exclamation mark).

The Common really isn’t that close to the tennis
I think they were up moved on for their pro green agenda. Recycling is one thing but once they started spouting about net zero they had to go
Red Wombles haven't been seen there for years, not since the Bulgarian Grey Wombles arrived and drove them out

Misheard names or comments are frequently the basis for songs. “Seven Nation Army” is famously a mishearing of “Salvation Army”.
Less well known is that Neil Young overheard heard his road crew discussing breakfast preferences and mishearing a nameless roadie indicating his pastry of choice, “I could be happy the rest of my life with a cinnamon swirl”, has given us one of the great songs from Mr Young.

For males it's the left leg, right for females which means that they travel around the hills in opposite directions only meeting and breeding occasionally, hence why the species is in danger.
