How do wombats live?

Wombats are burrowing herbivorous marsupials found in Australia. They typically live in forests, woodlands, and heathlands, where they dig extensive burrow systems to stay safe from predators and extreme weather. Wombats are nocturnal animals, spending their days in the coolness of their burrows and emerging at night to feed on grasses, roots, and other vegetation. They have strong, clawed forelimbs that they use to dig and create burrows, and their low metabolic rate allows them to go for several days without food. Wombats are solitary creatures, marking their territories with scent glands. They reproduce sexually, with females giving birth to a single joey after a gestation period of about 20-30 days. The joey remains in the mother’s pouch for several months before emerging and continuing to stay with her for several months.
