What are Wombats? Wombats are the largest burrowing marsupials native to some parts of the Australian mainland and Tasmania. Like the kangaroo they have a pouch which supports their young. Related to the Koala, they are an animal with a large head, short legs and tail. Like rodents their teeth grow continually to powerful jaws. They have powerful legs and claws that they use to dig burrows and forage for food. Wombat Woffle. What do they eat? About this site. What dangers do they face? ...

Types of Wombats. There are three main types of Wombats. Common Wombat (Vombatus Ursinus) Most numerous and wide spread. Found from QLD and NSW border, around the coastal plains band to some parts of Southern Australia. Southern Hairy Nose (Lasiorinus Latrifins) Found only in some parts of South Australia and Southern Western Australia near their borders. More adaptable than other Wombats as slow digestion rate enables them to live in arid areas. Northern Hairy Nose (lasiorhinus Kreftii) Unfortunately considered to be on the brink of extinction. Due to miss management and destruction of habitat there is only one known area set for their survival. Epping Forest in QLD is host to less than 100 Hairy Nose wombats. Wombat Woffle.

Sign up now for the subscriber materials! Wombats Wombats look like miniature bears with flat noses! Wandering in semi-dry grasslands of Australia and its nearby island, Tasmania, wombats differ from bears in many perspectives. In fact, after a close-up examination of wombats, you will find that wombats really share no similarities - aside from their furry coats and stocky builds - with bears! Wombats are nocturnal, herbivorous, and burrowing animals. That means they are active mainly at night, feed only on vegetation, and live underground. Equipped with sharp claws, wombats are very good at excavating. The tunnels that they dig have very practical designs. When wombats stumble upon their enemies (such as dingoes or foxes), they run quickly, at a top speed of 25 miles per hour, and retreat to safety by entering through one of the many entrances to their homes. Extending to more than 70 feet long, wombats' tunnels are custom made to allow only animals of the same size as the homeowners themselves to pass through. If a stalker persists in following wombats into their burrows, it may soon regret its decision! Because wombats have plates of cartilages in their rumps (or butts), they use their hefty rear ends as their first line of defense - they block the entrance to their burrows with their rumps. If the stalker's head gets caught between wombats' rear ends and the burrow wall, its skull can get crushed or it can suffocate. That's a very embarrassing, yet equally comical, way to die, isn't it?

Wombats are wild animals, not domesticated pets, and as such should be left in the wild where they belong. In most places in Australia, wombats are protected and it's illegal to keep them as pets. Wombats need special care and a special diet. They're extremely strong and can be very destructive. They can tear holes in fences, doors, and even walls. There's not much that will stop a wombat other than concrete or steel. As a wombat grows and matures, it becomes less and less friendly, and increasingly hostile and unpredictable. They have sufficient strength and speed to be dangerous.

55. Why Wombats Wear Their Pouches Backward Why wombats wear their pouches backward. The wombat is a round, stocky, barrelshapedmammal that inhabits many parts of Australia. Why? wombats burrow. http://www.users.bigpond.com/rdoolan/wombat.html

Why were wombats created with their pouch facing backward? Crystal Clear Creation: Unlock the secrets of nature, wildlife, the world, from a creationist, Christian, non-evolution perspective. Why wombats wear their pouches backward The wombat is a round, stocky, barrel-shaped mammal that inhabits many parts of Australia. It is about one meter (three feet) long, with four short legs and almost no tail. It looks like a small bear. Wombats are marsupials. This means the female wombat, like the kangaroo and wallaby, has an external pouch in which she carries her young. Even though wombats and kangaroos look nothing alike, some evolutionists believe they evolved from the same basic possum-like creatures. One major difference between kangaroos and wombats is that the wombat's pouch opens backwards, yet the kangaroo's does not. Why? Wombats burrow The wombat is a burrowing animal; the kangaroo is not. Wombats build long burrows up to 20 meters (66 feet) long, using their strong shovel-shaped claws to dig. Kangaroos do not dig tunnels. If the wombat had a forward-opening pouch like the kangaroo does, its pouch could clog up with soil while it was excavating. In His wisdom, God the Creator designed the female wombat with a pouch that would protect her young, while allowing her freedom to excavate speedily and efficiently.

Romans 1:20 Most people are familiar with the unique animals in the land down under. Australia boasts the largest variety of marsupials on any continent, including kangaroos, koalas, bandicoots, and wombats. Wombats are a thick-set short legged, tailless, and somewhat badger like burrowing animal. As are all marsupials, they exhibit marvelous evidence for design. I shall never forget the time on the ICR Australia tour when I took the American tourists to a wildlife sanctuary on Queensland's famous Gold Coast. We all wanted to see the wombat, an animal that has a pouch like the kangaroo and koala. As with other marsupials, the young wombat is born as a fetus about the size of a jelly bean, with Well developed forelimbs which enable it to crawl into the mother's pouch where it completes its development. This, in itself, shows the hand of the Creator, God.

60. MARSUPIALIA; VOMBATIDAE: Wombats MARSUPIALIA; Family VOMBATIDAE wombats. The name Phascolomyidae has sometimes beenused for this family. wombats resemble small bears in general appearance. http://www.press.jhu.edu/books/walkers_mammals_of_the_world/marsupialia/marsupia

MARSUPIALIA Family VOMBATIDAE Wombats This family of two Recent genera and three species is known from eastern and southern Australia, Tasmania, and islands of Bass Strait. The sequence of genera presented here follows that of Kirsch and Calaby 1977). The name Phascolomyidae has sometimes been used for this family. Wombats resemble small bears in general appearance. The body is thick and heavy; the head and body length of adults is about 700-1,200 mm, and the weight is 15-35 kg. The muzzle is naked and the pelage is coarse in Vombatus, but in Lasiorhinus the muzzle is haired and the pelage is soft. Underfur is almost lacking. The eyes are small. The limbs are short, equal in length or nearly so, and extremely strong. There are five digits on all the limbs, and all have claws except the first toe, which is vestigial. Digits 2 and 3 of the hind foot are partly united by skin. The marsupium opens posteriorly and encloses a single pair of mammae. Wombats have traces of cheek pouches. They also have a group of glands of unusual structure inside the stomach that may be associated with digestion of a special type of plant food. The skull is massive and flattened. Wombats are shy, timid, and difficult to observe in the wild; they are sometimes active during the day but are considered nocturnal. They live in burrows and are rapid, powerful diggers. Under certain conditions they may construct burrow systems of more than 30 meters in length. Wombats dig with their front feet, thrusting the soil out with the hind feet, and use their strong incisors to cut such obstructions as roots. The burrow entrance normally is a low arch that fits the body. A grass or bark nest is located near the end of the burrow. A shallow resting place is usually excavated against a tree or log near the mouth of the burrow, as a site for sunbathing. Paths often lead from burrows to feeding areas. Wombats eat mainly grasses, roots, bark, and fungi.
