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.

Why do you have wombats?
Wombats are fascinating creatures native to Australia, known for their unique burrowing habits and adorable appearance. Many people keep wombats in wildlife parks or rehabilitation centers to educate the public about their habitat and conservation needs. Additionally, they play a vital role in their ecosystems by aerating the soil through their burrowing activities. Ultimately, wombats are cherished for their quirky personality and contribute significantly to biodiversity efforts.
Which animals don't share a habitat?
Pandas and albatrosses. Penguins and just about any animal that lives in Africa. Snow leopards and wombats.
Who are a wombats enemies?
Wombats have a few natural enemies, primarily predators such as dingoes and foxes. Their primary defense is their burrowing behavior, which helps them evade these threats. Additionally, humans pose a danger through habitat destruction and vehicle collisions. Despite having few natural predators, wombats are vulnerable due to these human-related factors.
How do Wombats hunt for food?
Wombats do not hunt for food, as they are herbivores. Using their sharp teeth, they feed on grasses and sedges within their habitat. Being nocturnal and crepuscular, they most commonly feed in the early morning and at dusk.

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.
