Wombats are short-legged, muscular quadrupedal marsupials that are native to Australia. They are adaptable and habitat tolerant. They live in forested, mountainous, and heathland areas of southern and eastern Australia. Their geographical range includes Tasmania. They also live in an isolated patch in Epping Forest National Park in central Queensland.
Wombats are herbivores, and feed on grass, herbs, bark, and roots using rodent-like incisors. They have a very slow metabolism, taking 8-14 days to digest food, which helps them survive in arid conditions. Though they usually move slowly, they can reach speeds of 25 miles per hour when threatened.
Females have a backward-facing pouch to protect their single young while digging. Wombats dig extensive burrow systems with their rodent like front teeth and powerful claws.
They are generally quiet, but when angered, they can make hissing sounds. Their call sounds somewhat like a pig’s squeal. They can also make grunting noises, a low growl, a hoarse cough, and a clicking noise.
