The Aborigines hunted wombats for food. After European settlement, the wombat was considered a pest by farmers. Since their near extinction, the Northern hairy-nosed wombat and all other wombat species have been protected by law. 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.
How many common wombats are there in the world?
The gestation period of a wombat is 30 days resulting in a single, bean-sized, 1 gram offspring. The joey is blind and crawls from the birth canal, following the smell of its mother's milk into the backwards facing pouch. For the next 7-8 months, the joey is completely dependent on its mother, even for warmth since it cannot control its own body temperature. The joey leaves the pouch permanently at about 10 months, but stays with its mother for a further 5-10 months.
