Wombats by Ms Cheong

They Poop In CubesOne of the more unusual facts about wombats is that their poo resembles an 80s toy craze rather than actual animal faeces. No joke: these critters actually excrete cube shaped poop! Apparently this stops the poo from rolling off their marked territory of rocks or trees. Glad we got to the bottom of that...

Their Closest Relative Will Surprise YouAlthough Koalas could be physically compared to bears, pigs and guinea pigs, the closest living relative to the Wombat is actually the Koala. Although they may not look physically similar, both species have backward-facing pouches. This is especially useful for Wombats as they won't get dirt in their pouches while digging.

Common Wombats inhabit sub-alpine heath at altitudes of up to 1800 m, sub-alpine woodland, wet forest, dry forest, woodland, coast scrub and wet heath. The distribution of the Common Wombat mainly depends on the availability of suitable burrow sites that are near their food sites.

There Are Actually Three Sub-species Of WombatThe three species are Bare-Nosed Wombat (Vombatus Ursinus), Southern Hairy-nosed(Lasiorhinus latifrons) and Northern Hairy Nosed (Lasiorhinus krefftii).

Their Teeth Don't Stop GrowingNext time you complain about your wisdom teeth coming through, spare a thought for the Wombat! Their teeth never stop growing, which ensures they don't grind away when they are munching on grasses, roots, shrubs and vegetables.

Wombats are cute.

They Can Run As Fast As A HumanDon't let their looks deceive you, these marsupials can run at speeds of 40 km/h! That's just 7 km/h slower than Usain Bolt!Juliet The Wombat Rainforestation Nature Park Kuranda

They Are The Second Largest of All MarsupialsThe largest living marsupial is the Red Kangaroo. However, the largest ever marsupial was a Diprotodon, which was a wombat-like creature standing at around 2 metres tall. Yikes!

Wombats spend between 3 and 8 hours each night grazing on their favourite food, which is native grasses such as the tussocky 'snow grass', wallaby grass and kangaroo grass.

The Heaviest Wombat Was 38kgThe oldest (31 years) and heaviest wombat was Patrick the Bare-nosed Wombat who lived at Ballarat Wildlife Park. This makes him the weight of around four Koalas combined.
