Wombat: one of the strangest animals in the world !!

in #animals6 years ago

Like kangaroos, wombats belong to the family of marsupials and grow their pups in a ventral pocket. The wombat is a very fast animal: it can reach a speed of 40 km / h. He lives in the mountain forests of Australia and usually sleeps under the trees. Armed with powerful claws, he is able to dig burrows five meters long.

Wombat is a marsupial that lives in the mountainous forests of Australia where it lives in large burrows. Its resemblance to a small brown bear is very popular among Australians.

Its legs are equipped with powerful claws which are used to dig burrows and galleries that can reach 10 meters in length.

The wombat is solitary except for the time of the loves. He is an animal who leads a night life and lives in Australia. He digs a very long tunnel at the end of which there is a room lined with grass and where he sleeps all day.

He is herbivorous, grass, bark and roots are his everyday menu.

During the months of May, June, and July, the female gives birth to a single cub that climbs into the ventral pocket and only comes out when it is large enough. He will spend a whole year with his mother.

e dingo is a predator of the wombat. The man also hunts him because, they say, the burrows he digs and the grass he eats harm their land. He is threatened and protected.

A wombat has a lifespan of 19 to 27 years.

Like many species in Australia, it is threatened with extinction, especially the hairy nostrils, which lives only in a closed reserve in northern Australia. It is estimated that there are no more than 200 left on the surface of the earth.

The best Wombat Movie ever been made!!!
