Wombats are grazing animals. Using their sharp teeth, they feed on grasses and sedges within their habitat. Being nocturnal and crepuscular, they most commonly feed in the early morning and at dusk.

Wallabies move differently at high and low speeds. At low speeds (when browsing for example) they use all four limbs to amble along. At high speed the use only their back legs to propel themselves forward in a series of leaps.

Further information:

Wallabies are smaller members of the kangaroo family. When moving quickly, wallabies mainly travel by hopping. They have powerful hind legs ideal for speedy bounding. Like their larger relatives, wallabies have strong tendons in their hind legs which act as "springs". Their strong back legs and elongated hind feet enable them to bound agilely up and down hilly terrain, and to duck between trees at a fast bounding pace.

When moving slowly, wallabies have a rather ungainly gait. They support themselves with their front legs and tail while they pull their hind legs along. Their hind legs cannot move independently, but must be pulled together.

Up to 15kph in short bursts, but this is not their normal mode of locomotion - usually they waddle very slowly.

Why would someone kill a Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat?

The Aborigines hunted wombats for food. After European settlement, the wombat was considered a pest by farmers.

I am told that wombat meat is tough and chewy and their fur is not valuable or especially good for anything. Also, there are not enough of them to constitute a threat to anything, so there is no reason to kill them.
