The Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat is only found in a small national park near Epping Forest Station in Queensland, Australia. ______ Prior to European settlement, the habitat would have extended down from Clermont through central NSW and into Victoria. The Epping Forest National Park was proclaimed in 1971 to protect this last population of Northern hairy-nosed wombats, where they seem to be making a slow recovery. After some dingo predation and the drought of the 1990's, the current population is estimated to be about 110.
In the wild, the hairy-nosed wombat can live for over 20 years.
The closest relative to the Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat is the Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat, judging by their scientific names. There are, in fact, three species of wombats which live in Australia. They are the Common wombat (Vombatus ursinus), the Northern hairy-nosed wombat (Lasiorhinus krefftii) and the Southern hairy-nosed wombat (Lasiorhinus latifrons).
There is no such species as the hairy-nosed bandicoot.

Australia has just the Northern hairy-nosed wombat and the Southern hairy-nosed wombat. There is also the Common wombat.
