Common wombat current distribution is now between the Great Dividing Range and the coast from Stanthorpe in Queensland and right around almost to Adelaide and all of Tasmania. Prior to European settlement, the habitat would have been very much the same, but the population more dense and less patchy than currently.
Northern hairy-nosed wombat current distribution is now almost exclusively in and around the Epping Forest National park near Clermont in Queensland. Prior to European settlement, the habitat would have extended down from Clermont through central NSW and into Victoria.
Southern hairy-nosed wombat current distribution is along the southern areas of South and Western Australia, mostly along the Nullarbor Plain and as far east as Murraylands, and away from population centres. Prior to European settlement, the habitat would have been very much the same, but the population more dense and less patchy than currently.
Yes, wombats naturally occur only in Australia.
There are dozens of different mammals in Australia
There are 30,0000
No, they just take over the left home from wombats
There are no wombats in Africa. Wombats are native to Australia alone.
The most recent census of Northern Hairy-Nosed wombats was done in 2007. At that time, there was an estimated population of 138 wombats, and the figures have since increased, although the intensity of the threats remains.
There is no specific number for a group of wombats known as a "mob".
No. If cheetahs and wombats occupied the same continent, there is no doubt that cheetahs would eat wombats, and probably find them easy prey. However, the two species are found on opposite sides of the world; so no, cheetahs do not eat wombats.

Yes. All three species of wombats are endemic to Australia, meaning they are not found anywhere else in the world.
No, there are no wombats in Africa. Wombats are native to Australia alone.
Baby wombats live in their mother's pouch. Wombats are marsupials.
Australians are not wombats. Wombats are marsupials. Australians are humans, which are placental mammals.
No. Wombats are not related to rats at all. Wombats are not rodents, but marsupials.
