Wombats are native to Australia. They are found in different habitats across the country, including grasslands, woodlands, and forests. There are three different species of wombats in Australia: the common wombat, the southern hairy-nosed wombat, and the northern hairy-nosed wombat. Although they may look similar, each species has its own unique characteristics and habits. Wombats are marsupials, which means that they carry their young in pouches. They are known for their sturdy build, strong claws, and ability to dig extensive burrow systems. Despite being native to Australia, wombats can now be found in some wildlife parks and zoos around the world.
