>> who is he going down there to rescue? >> he is going down to rescue this guy. >> oh. >> it's a deer! >> it's a wambat. >> there you go, gayle. they are only found in australia it looks like a giant rat. grows to about 45 pounds to 75 pounds. they are herbivores, mainly eat grass. >> not only is there a wambat down there, but a bunch of two-by-fours that make it more difficult. >> this one seems gentle. wambats have been known to be aggressive especially when protecting their tunnels and homes. >> how did they find out this wamba it was at the end of this well? >> good question. a lady was down there exploring the old mine shaft, she came across the whambat, who called police and they called nigel here. >> gets it in the bag, ties it

>> and they explain how it will work when they phase them out. >> when you pay by card, that act amount will be deducted from your account. if you pay by cash and don't have any pennies, then the rounding will be rounded to the nearest five cent. either way, a one or two cent difference is not worth caring about. >> nick, i think you agree as a dude, when you get home, there's coins everywhere. >> there's still some pressure money. still some copper in it. >> it seems easier just to change the price. >> do you think it will cause manufacturers to round up? >> so instead of the 99 cent menu, it will be the 1.03 menu? >> yeah so it gets rounded up to 1.05. >> he's 12, a skateboarder -- >> it's something that has never
