Most of Australia’s wildlife is found nowhere else in
the world . 87% of mammal species, 93% of reptiles, 94% of frogs and 45% of the
bird species are found only in Australia. The Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat is no
exception.
This large, pudgy mammal is a marsupial, or pouched animal,
found in Australia and on scattered islands nearby. It is solitary and
nocturnal, which makes the wombat a rare sight for people in the wild. Adapted
to digging, the Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat is a stout and robust animal with
strong claws.

Cute, but kind of scary-looking.
This wombat is just a funky looking animal like so many from down under.
