The gestation period of a wombat is 30 days resulting in a single, bean-sized, 1 gram offspring. The joey is blind and crawls from the birth canal, following the smell of its mother's milk into the backwards facing pouch. For the next 7-8 months, the joey is completely dependent on its mother, even for warmth since it cannot control its own body temperature. The joey leaves the pouch permanently at about 10 months, but stays with its mother for a further 5-10 months.

What type of birth do wombats have?

Baby wombats, or joeys, are born live from the mother's birth canal. Although blind, hairless and completely helpless, the joey (about the size of a bean) clings to its mother's fur, making a long and arduous journey completely by instinct, up to the pouch. Once there, the joey attaches its mouth to a teat, which swells in its mouth to prevent it from being accidentally dislodged.

Are wombats a predator?

Not at all. Wombats are quite stubborn, and if a person reached for a clump of grass at the same time as a wombat did, he would find his hand or arm the victim of a strong wombat bite. Wombats do not actively seek to harm any other living creature, as long as they are left to do their own thing in peace.
