How do wombats reproduce?
Wombats reproduce sexually. They typically reproduce once a year or once every two years. Breeding times vary according to which part of Australia they live in, but it seems they can give birth any time between April through to January, with the latter being favoured for cooler climates. Wombats are marsupials, so the young joey is born after a gestation period of 20-22 days. It then makes its way, blind, hairless and the size of a bean, to the mother's pouch where it latches on to a teat. The teat swells in its mouth, securing it in place. The female wombat's pouch faces backwards so that dirt does not get into the pouch when she digs. The joey continues its development in the pouch for around 8 months, initially leaving the pouch for short periods of time until it gets older. A wombat is fully weaned between 11-15 months, and stays with its mother until it is around 2 years old.
