Vombatus ursinus is the scientific name for the common wombat, a marsupial native to Australia. These animals are characterized by their sturdy bodies, short legs, and a distinctive burrowing behavior. Wombats are primarily herbivorous, feeding on grasses and roots, and are known for their unique cube-shaped feces, which helps mark their territory. They are nocturnal and typically live in social groups or solitary, depending on the species and habitat.

Some wombat facts?
There are three species of wombat - * Common Wombat - Vombatus ursinis * Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat - Lasiorhinus latifrons * Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat - Lasiorhinus krefftiiThe Northern hairy-nosed wombat is in a lot of trouble and is considered one of the rarest animals in the world. Wombats are a mostly nocturnal herbivorous marsupial mammal and live in burrows. They are the largest herbivorous burrowing animals in the world. They have a stout body, blunt head and broad paws with strong claws making it a powerful earth-mover, burrowing up to 2 metres a night. A typical burrow is about 50 cm high and 50 cm wide and can be up to 30 metres long with several chambers including nursery burrows. A wombat warns off intruders with an aggressive display of head shaking, gnashing teeth and a guttural growl. 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, however, a wombat will abandon the burrow if a snake moves in. When wombats are resting in a burrow, their metabolism slows to two-thirds of normal to conserve water and energy.
