Habitat
Baby wombats live in their mothers pouch. Older wombats live in burrows on grass and eucalyptas forests.
Diet
Wombats are completely herbivorous Eg grass, herbs, roots, bushes, trees, fungi/mushrooms, puffballs, shrubs and marsh plants but there are many more.
Movement
Wombats are extremely fast kind of like weird fast waddle. they also do awkward shuffling. They can also swim really well.
Behavior
Wombats are known for damage to humans. that's why wombats are hunted because of their behavior as ell as sport and even just for fun! You may think wombats climb trees because they're related to koalas but they don't.
Predators
Humans hunt wombats, so do animals Eg eagles, owls, dingoes, Tasmanian devils and foxes.Foxes also spread a disease called mange.
Koalas are awesome but so are wombats.
