The only part of Western Australia where wombats occur is a small section just over the South Australian border on the Nullabor Plain.
It depends on the species. The Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat lives only in and around the Epping Forest National park in central Queensland. The Common Wombat habitat lives in eucalypt forest, open woodland, coastal scrub and heath in southeastern Australia, from Queensland down to Victoria. The Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat's habitat can be found in eucalypt and acacia woodland, shrubland and heath in parts of South Australia, a small region of southeastern Western Australia and western Victoria.
They are found in forested, mountainous, and heathland areas of south-eastern Australia and Tasmania.
Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat Scientific name: Lasiorhinus latifrons National conservation status: Secure in restricted area Size: 770-934 mm long Weight: 19-32 kg Diet: Prefer young shoots of native grasses Habitat: Eucalypt and acacia woodland, shrubland and heath The Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat species occurs in parts of southern South Australia, southeastern Western Australia and western Victoria. It is the smallest of the three wombats in Australia has red-brown fur and a shorter face. The Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat breeds from late September through to December.
Wombats are native to the country of Australia.
Depending on the species, the habitat range of the wombat varies from 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. Wombats dig burrows in which to live. Burrows average about 50 cm high by 50 cm wide, just enough width for the wombat and nothing else. This is because, if threatened, a wombat can present just its padded backside to a predator, and the predator has no way of grabbing hold of the wombat or penetrating its thickened hide.
