𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄? 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀! 👷

With their chubby build, short legs, and adorable faces, wombats are a true Aussie icon. These marsupials are master diggers, creating extensive burrow systems with their powerful claws, often up to 30 metres long. Their thick, tough rear hides act as built-in armour, protecting them from predators when they retreat into their burrows.

Wombats are marsupials, meaning their young grow in a pouch—facing backward so dirt doesn’t get in while mum digs! They also have one of the slowest metabolisms in the animal kingdom, allowing them to thrive on tough grasses and conserve energy.

Spot these nocturnal wonders in the wild at places like Tasmania or the Snowy Mountains, and you’ll be witnessing a unique slice of Australian wildlife 😍
