Wombats are grazing animals. Using their sharp teeth, they feed on grasses and sedges within their habitat. Being nocturnal and crepuscular, they most commonly feed in the early morning and at dusk.
The Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat (aka Queensland Hairy-nosed Wombat, Yaminon) eats mostly native grasses. The Common Wombat eats mostly native grasses, sedges, rushes, shrub and tree roots. The Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat eats mostly young shoots of native grasses.
Wombats prefer fresh grasses, herbs and sedges.

Also, there are not enough of them to constitute a threat to anything, so there is no reason to kill them.
