All species of wombats are herbivores and have a backwards facing pouch to protect its young whilst digging their burrows.

The Burrowing bettong is also a pouched herbivore that burrows.

How is a wombat's back pouch useful?

Wombats have just one pouch, not a "back pouch". What they do have is a backward-facing pouch, and this is useful because the wombat is a burrowing animal. When the female burrows, the dirt does not fly into the pouch where the wombat joey lies.

does a possum carry newborns in a pouch or have a nest?

A possum, specifically the Virginia opossum, carries its newborns in a pouch. Female opossums have a marsupial pouch where the tiny, underdeveloped babies attach to a teat for nourishment and continue to grow. After they outgrow the pouch, the young may ride on their mother's back while she forages for food. Opossums do not build traditional nests; instead, they often use dens or burrows for shelter.

Do male wombats have pouches?

Yes, wombats have pouches. They are marsupials, so most of the joey's development takes place in the pouch. The wombat's pouch faces backwards so that, when the wombat digs, dirt does not fly into the pouch.
