| Bare-nosed Wombats |
|
The palatial pen where our two female wombats live makes it possible for them to hide underground or in a mud brick tunnel in the heat of the day. 10ºC is their favourite temperature. Wombats are our most intelligent marsupial. They are related to koalas, but they feed on grasses and roots. They have a backward facing pouch so the baby does not get a face full of soil when the mother is digging. The baby stays with the mother until it is two years old.
