With powerful limbs and sharp flat claws, it is ideally built for digging. At up to one meter in length, it is one of the largest burrowing animals in the world.
Like kangaroos and koalas, the wombat nurtures its young inside a pouch. Unlike its marsupial cousins, however, the female’s specially adapted pouch from the rear so as to better protect its young during tunnelling.
