No. A wombat is a living, breathing marsupial of Australia.
The most common wombat in Australia is actually the species known as the Common wombat, or (more recently) the Bare-nosed wombat, to distinguish it from the two species of Hairy-nosed wombats. The Common wombat is found from the Great Dividing Range and the coast from Stanthorpe in Queensland, south and southwest almost to Adelaide and all of Tasmania. it is the only species found in Tasmania.
The hairy-nosed wombat (not the common wombat) is the official emblem of South Australia.
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).
They are found in forested, mountainous, and heathland areas of south-eastern Australia and Tasmania.
Hairy-Nosed Wombat or as it is sometimes called the plains wombat.
