Cube Shaped Poops

Wombats have some of the most distinct droppings on earth amongst all the other animals. They produce about 80 to 100 pieces of poop a night, and each one is a neat, cube-shaped package. They use these pieces to mark their territory.

Solitary Animals

A group of the wombat is often termed as “Wisdom”. A male northern hairy-nosed variety of wombat prefers staying along. They are shy creatures and lives in burrows. However, females are social beings who involve well with others.

Tough Posterior

While running away from predators the wombats rely upon their powered rumps to protect themselves. Their rear ends are cartilages which help them overcome scratches and bites. Also, they would jump into their burrows and even block the entrance using their bumps.

Three Species

There are mainly three different species of the wombats: a common wombat, the northern hairy-nosed wombats, and southern hairy-nosed wombats. While there are many of common and southern hairy-nosed wombats in the wild which can easily be located, the northern hairy-nosed wombat is critically endangered.

Night Animal

Majority of the Australians have not seen a wombat in life because these are night animals. They prefer staying in their burrows in the daytime and leave their territory at night in search of food.
