Product Information

By placing camera traps outside 34 wombat burrows, a 2015 study showed a surprising variety of animals using southern hairy-nosed wombat burrows. This means, at times, other species may not need to share burrows with wombats at all. It’s vacant real estate. A group of wombats is called a ‘wisdom of wombats,’ a colony of wombats, or a ‘mob of wombats.’ Wombat Weakness

Wombats are wild animals with teeth and claws, and they can be dangerous if they feel trapped or threatened. A person couldn’t easily escape an angry wombat, since they can run up to 25 miles per hour, much faster than the average person. They’re also big and powerful enough to cause serious harm by biting or scratching.Wombats dig large burrows using their huge sharp claws, usually spending around four days sleeping in one burrow before moving on to the next one. Of the three wombat species, the Northern Hairy Nosed Wombat is currently on the endangered animals’ list. 16. Wombats evolved to dig

The scientific name for the common wombat is Vombatus ursinus. The word ‘Vombatus’ means wombat-like, and ‘ursinus’ means bear-like. The northern hairy-nosed wombat is the Lasiorhinus krefftii, and the southern hairy-nosed wombat is the Lasiorhinus latifrons. ‘Lasio’ means hairy, and ‘rhinus’ means nose, used to describe these wombats with hair on their noses. ‘Krefftii’ is based on Gerard Krefft, who was the Director of the Australian Museum for 10 years, from 1864 to 1874. The term ‘latifrons’ means broad-chested or broad-fronted. Types of Wombats

Throughout history, wombats have been hunted for their fur and meat, and as a result, some species have become endangered. Conservation efforts are underway to protect these animals and ensure their survival in the wild. Estimates for the number of Southern hairy-nosed wombats guess their population to be somewhere between 100,000 and 300,000. Transcription: " Bejīta no Hisaku!!

The number of wombats living in the wild is unknown. Common wombats are considered plentiful but there are no current estimates on how many of them there are. The species is listed as being of least concern, meaning their numbers seem to be sufficient to sustain them.

Wombat Facts

In her book Wombats, Barbara Triggs recalls a fox being chased from a burrow by an angry wombat. Meanwhile, the crushed skulls of foxes and dogs in wombat burrows suggest not all intruders are welcome. Adult wombats are known to be aggressive, particularly if they feel threatened. A favourite technique, according to the Australian Museum, is to flee to a nearby burrow and then use their sizeable rump to crush the pursuing predator’s head against the dirt roof.
