Depending on the species, the habitat range of the wombat varies from the southern part of Queensland, Tasmania, South Australia, Victoria, and NSW, and the southwestern corner of Western Australia. They range from grasslands to mountains and hillsides - wherever they can dig burrows and find food. They tend not to be found in desert regions, because there is insufficient food.

Wombats dig burrows in which to live. Burrows average about 50 cm high by 50 cm wide, just enough width for the wombat and nothing else. This is because, if threatened, a wombat can present just its padded backside to a predator, and the predator has no way of grabbing hold of the wombat or penetrating its thickened hide.

How an organism's habitat occupation relates to its tolerance range?

An organism's habitat occupation is influenced by its tolerance range, which is the range of environmental conditions (such as temperature, pH, and salinity) that it can survive in. Organisms occupying a specific habitat have adapted to thrive within the tolerance range of those conditions. If the conditions in a habitat fall outside an organism's tolerance range, it may not be able to survive and reproduce in that habitat.
