There are three species of wombat - * Common Wombat - Vombatus ursinis * Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat - Lasiorhinus latifrons * Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat - Lasiorhinus krefftiiThe Northern hairy-nosed wombat is in a lot of trouble and is considered one of the rarest animals in the world. Wombats are a mostly nocturnal herbivorous marsupial mammal and live in burrows. They are the largest herbivorous burrowing animals in the world. They have a stout body, blunt head and broad paws with strong claws making it a powerful earth-mover, burrowing up to 2 metres a night. A typical burrow is about 50 cm high and 50 cm wide and can be up to 30 metres long with several chambers including nursery burrows. A wombat warns off intruders with an aggressive display of head shaking, gnashing teeth and a guttural growl. Burrows provide wombats with protection from predators, weather and bushfires. A predator following a wombat into its burrow can be crushed against the roof by the wombat's powerful rump, however, a wombat will abandon the burrow if a snake moves in. When wombats are resting in a burrow, their metabolism slows to two-thirds of normal to conserve water and energy.
