Life is a lot of fun for Wombat. There are lots of things he likes to do: shouting at the top of his voice, stepping in circles until he falls over, pulling funny faces and getting in a mess. But can you guess what he likes to do best of all?
Wombats are nocturnal, live in burrows and are closely related to the Koala. They are small, round and have good muscles so are often called “the bulldozers of the bush.”
Wombats live in coastal areas, grasslands or forest areas in New South Wales, eastern Victoria, north-east Tasmania and Flinders Island (a small island just north of Tasmania). They don’t live in the desert as they are herbivores.
Kangaroo Valley in New South Wales is another great place to see wombats in the wild, but like any wild animals, they’re not the most reliable when trying to spot them outside
