The Southern hairy nosed wombat is listed as "Endangered" on Schedule 1 of Australia's Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. However, its IUCN status is "Least Concern".
It has fared better than its cousin, the northern hairy-nosed wombat, which is endangered, with a high likelihood of impending extinction if current threats are not reduced.

You have to do challenges to get to them only thing is your grade isn't saved.
How long does the northern hairy nosed wombat live?
The Northern Hairy Nosed wombat has just one young per year, and even this is entirely dependent on whether or not there has been sufficiant summer rainfall. In drought conditions, they breed less often.
How are wombats and koalas alike?
Like other mammals, koalas give birth to live young, they feed their young with milk, and they are warmblooded, all defining features of Mammals. Like other mammals, they breathe air using lungs rather than gills. They also have fur, and other mammals have either bare skin, fur or hair.
Koalas, specifically, are an order of mammals known as marsupialia, or marsupials. They are mammals in every sense of the word, but they also have a pouch in which most of the development of the young joey occurs.
What does a young ladybug look like?
A2. If you look up Ladyird in Wikipedia, you'll see that the larval stage of the ladybird is a very agile bluish-black coloured being. It has several instars before hatching out as an adult. At the hatching stage, they are a butter yellow colour, and take about 24 hours to develop their adult colours.
The larval stages will eat other ladybird eggs they find, and also the contents of any of their cocoon peers they chance upon.
I got a number of good pics of these this year.
Can humans fit in kangaroo pouches?
Definitely not.
The pouch, or "marsupium" of a kangaroo is too small for a person of any size. Although there is a delightful book entitled "Dot and the Kangaroo", in which a young girl is tended by a female kangaroo, riding around in its pouch, it is not possible for a person in real life to do so.
Well it depends if you like the guy some people might think it's hot or not.
How many Hairy-Nosed Wombats are left in the world?
The Northern hairy-nosed wombat is in a lot of trouble and is considered one of the rarest animals in the world. Apart from the intrusion of people into their environment, the drought of the early 1900's was thought to have finished off all Northern hairy-nosed wombats and they were declared extinct until a tiny population of 35 was found in the Epping Forest in 1937.
The Epping Forest National Park was proclaimed in 1971 to protect this last population of Northern hairy-nosed wombats, where they seem to be making a slow recovery.
After some dingo predation and the drought of the 1990s, the population counts are -
1993 - 65 animals
2001 - 85 animals
2003 - 110 animals
2005 - 115 animals
2007 - 138 animals
2010 - 174 animals
These population numbers should not be considered to be exact. They merely reflect the number of animals counted by various groups and organisations, not necessarily the total number of animals living in the habitat.
In 2009, either 5 or 12 animals (depending on who you choose to believe) were relocated to establish a second population. This was done to avoid inbreeding and the safety factor of not having all of the animals in the same immediate area.
As at August 2012, these appear to be the most recent statistics available. Numbers expected to be released later in 2014 suggest there should be more than 200 in Epping Forest National Park, with another 9 in the Richard Underwood Nature refuge near St George.
What does a wombats paw print look like?
Typically, a wombats footprint looks a lot like a small rodent's, except for the size. Here is a sketch I found online. (Not mine)

I hope this helps
Wombats are not harmful to people, animals or the environment. They do have a nasty bite if provoked. They also have an undeserved reputation as an animal that causes erosion in the environment, but this is a false assumption. Unlike sheep, they do not feed down to the roots of vegetation. They are beneficial to the environment as they move sediment around, which helps the plants.
Why do wombats form square poos on logs?
Wombats produce cube shaped "scats" because of the type of food they eat, and their fairly slow metabolism. The purpose in having cube shaped scats is so that the wombat can better mark its territory. Wombats leave scats to mark their territory on the top of logs and rocks, and cube shaped scats are less likely to roll away from the wombat's territory.
What do wombats spend their time doing?
Wombats graze, sleep and reproduce. That is what they spend their time doing.
What is the difference between a common wombat and a northern hairy nosed wombat?
Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat (aka Queensland Hairy-nosed Wombat, Yaminon)
Scientific name: Lasiorhinus krefftii
National conservation status: Endangered (likely to become extinct if threats continue)
Size: 35 cm high, 1 m long
Weight: up to 35 kg (Females slightly heavier than males)
The Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat is a marsupial with a backward facing pouch. The curious name comes from its distinctive muzzle which is covered with short brown hairs. It is strong and heavily built, with short, powerful legs and strong claws that are used to dig burrows or search for suitable plants to eat. Its fur is soft, silky, and mainly brown, mottled with grey, fawn and black. It has a broad head, and the ears are long and slightly pointed with tufts of white hair on the edges.
The Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat gives birth to one young during the wet season (November - April). The young stay in the mother's pouch for eight to nine months. They leave their mother at about 15 months.
Some people said that young kangaroos are born in the pouch why is that false?
Because they aren't. They're born from the birth canal, down by the tail. But they're born real tiny. then they make their way into the pouch, latch onto a teat and finish their baby stage there.
