Best Answer

Wombats and rodents are both mammals, although they are quite different types of mammals. Wombats are marsupials and rodents are placental mammals. Being both mammals, they share the common characteristics of all mammals.

In addition, wombats' teeth are unlike those of other marsupials, and more like a rodent's teeth. They continue to grow throughout the wombat's life, and so this marsupial must regularly gnaw on wood and other items that will help wear down the teeth.

How do you do the If I'm a wombat are you a wombat joke?

Here is the way the joke works:You and some (probably bored) friends are in a car, or a house, and you ask questions about various people or objects, asking if something about them makes them a wombat. The key is that unless you begin the question with a certain phrase (usually "listen" but it can be "okay" or "look"), the answer is "No, he/it is not a wombat." If the phrase is used, then "Yes, he/it is a wombat."Variations include: "if this is a wombat, and this is a wombat" where the two things (or people) are similar in some way, then is a third thing/person a wombat? Again, it takes awhile before everyone catches on.
