The Full Story
Wombats are native marsupials found only in Australia. Their distribution includes eastern and southeastern mainland Australia and Tasmania, with different species occupying different habitats. Common wombats often live in forested and mountainous areas, while bare-nosed wombats can also use grasslands and more open country. They are famous for their burrows and for a cubic shape to their droppings, which helps mark territory. Wombats are primarily herbivores and spend much of their time underground.
