What eats wombats?

Wombats have few natural predators. The wombat's main predator is the dingo, but introduced species like dogs, cats and foxes can also hunt them for food. Young wombats which are still vulnerable and only just emerging from the pouch may be taken by birds of prey such as wedge-tailed eagles. In Tasmania, Australia's southern state, Tasmanian devils will prey on smaller wombats, and they have been known to feed off the carcass of a wombat. Aborigines also hunted wombats for food.


Where can a wombat be found?

Unless in a zoo, due to differing climates, wombats in the wild can only be found in Australia. Depending on the species, wombats can be found in the southern part of Queensland, Tasmania, South Australia, Victoria, and NSW, and the southwestern corner of Western Australia. They range from grasslands to mountains and hillsides - wherever they can dig burrows and find food. They tend not to be found in desert regions, because there is insufficient food.
