When you’re a wombat, where do you like to explore?
When you’re a wombat, where do you like to explore?
Little Wombat loves to explore, and today he’s decided he wants a change of scenery! So he sets out to see what kind of homes his other friends live in. But none of them seem to be quite right for a little wombat. And it’s only once he gets back to his own burrow that he realises there really is nowhere like it!
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
