The wombat is a large marsupial found only in Australia. Wombats are nocturnal creatures and have powerful claws and rodent-like front teeth that they use for digging extensive burrows. Being marsupials, the wombat rears its young in a pouch, however in the case of the wombat this is a backwards-facing pouch – a very useful evolutionary variation that prevents the wombat covering its young with soil when digging. Wombats weigh around 25-30 kg and are herbivores, eating mainly grasses, herbs, bark and roots.
