When do wombats breed?

Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat (aka Queensland Hairy-nosed Wombat, Yaminon) Scientific name: Lasiorhinus krefftii The Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat is a marsupial with a backward facing pouch. The curious name comes from its distinctive muzzle which is covered with short brown hairs. It is strong and heavily built, with short, powerful legs and strong claws that are used to dig burrows or search for suitable plants to eat. Its fur is soft, silky, and mainly brown, mottled with grey, fawn and black. It has a broad head, and the ears are long and slightly pointed with tufts of white hair on the edges. The Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat gives birth to one young during the wet season (November - April). The young stay in the mothers pouch for eight to nine months. They leave their mother at about 15 months. Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat Scientific name: Lasiorhinus latifrons The Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat species occurs in parts of southern South Australia, southeastern Western Australia and western Victoria.

Why is the meaning of 'First is the worst second is the best and third the one with the hairy chest'?

Being in first place means that you're arrogant. It's better to be in second place because you did well but don't have the arrogance problem. The interpretation of "hairy chest" in third place is more dubious: it could mean that muscular manly men may not be able to run as fast as skinny men (who place higher). Or it could be derision, if having a hairy chest is perceived as a negative. In other versions of this schoolyard chant, it goes "third is the one with the treasure chest."

What mammals have navicular bones?

There are two potential answers to this, depending upon what you want to call "having a navicular bone". The navicular bone is the third phalanx of the third digit in the horse. As the horse is the only species that calls the third phalanx of the third digit the navicular bone, one potential answer is "the horse". However, there are many species that have the third phalanx of the third digit, although it generally isn't given a special name. Based on this, the other possible answer is "most mammals".
