The size of a wombat depends upon the species.

The Hairy-nosed Wombat grows up to 1 m long, and a height of 35 cm. Their weight may reach 35kg, and females are usually heavier than males.

The Common Wombat is usually around 91 cm in length and an average weight of around 26 kg, although those found in Tasmania tend to be smaller.

How does a hairy nosed wombat hide or escape from its enemies?

A wombat warns off intruders with an aggressive display of head shaking, gnashing teeth and a guttural growl. The hairy-nosed wombat lives in burrows it digs with its strong claws. Burrows provide wombats with protection from predators, weather and bushfires. A predator following a wombat into its burrow can be crushed against the roof by the wombat's powerful rump. For defence, the wombat literally uses its backside. It has extra tough, thick skin on its lower back. Because a wombat's burrow is only just big enough for the wombat itself to fit into, in the event of a dog or dingo attack, it will turn around and present only that thicker hide to the aggressor, a hide that is difficult for a dingo's teeth to penetrate.
