There are three species of wombat: Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat Bare-nosed Wombat Click on this link to find out about Epping Forest National Park, the Northern Hairy-Nosed Wombat's home. How do the three species of wombat differ? The Bare-nosed Wombat has a bare pointed nose, shorter ears and coarser hair than the two hairy-nosed wombat species. The hairy-nosed wombats have broad hairy muzzles, long ears and silky hair. In some areas, Southern Hairy Nosed Wombat populations are plummeting as a result of ingesting non-native vegetation. For more information, see the Wombat Awareness Organisation website: www.wombatawareness.com The Bare-nosed Wombat is generally coastal and highland in distribution. The hairy-nosed wombats are generally found in semi-arid areas. See the distribution map for detailed information. Click on this link to find out why we're in trouble. |
