my friends the wombats

Have you ever seen these animals?

They are called wombats and they are mammals and also marsupials. They are native only to Australia and they look somewhat like a little bear.

There are two basic kinds of wombats, the common wombat, and the hairy nosed wombat. They are nocturnal grazers, they eat mainly grasses and roots and live in large burrows up to 30 meters long. They are extremely strong and very proficient diggers.

They can be anything from a sandy color to brown or black to grey. The average wombat is about 1 meter long and weighs about 25 kg .

They can live from about 5 years to over 30 years.

Now would you like to see a wombat and his house?



Well what did you think of the wombat? Tomorrow we're going to the last place on our trip around Australia. Can you guess where we're going?....
