Wombat

A common wombat from Australia. Wombats are a robust and powerful nocturnal marsupial! They are found throughout southeast Australia, including Tasmania. They have strong claws, nails and teeth for digging burrows and chewing through tree roots. They are herbivorous and spend the hours of darkness grazing on grasses, shrubs and leaves. Because wombats are marsupials, they have a pouch for raising their young, called joeys.

Many thanks Zoe!

Wombats

This beautiful 3D wombat card was sent from Dubbo, a city in the Orana Region of New South Wales.
Wombats are short-legged, muscular quadrupedal marsupials that are native in Australia. They are about 1 m in length with small, stubby tails. They are adaptable and habitat tolerant, and are found in forested, mountainous, and areas of south-eastern Australia, including Tasmania, as well as an isolated patch of about 300ha in Epping Forest National Park in central Queensland.

Thanks so much Shelley!

Wombat

This beautiful wombat card is part of the Australian Fauna II maxicard set by Australia Post.
Wombats are the largest burrowing mammals in Australia. These stocky creatures dig vast burrow systems of up to 20 metres long, more than two metres below the ground, with their rat-like front teeth and powerful claws. The rump of the wombat is covered by a very tough, thick skin that is often used as protection from attackers, as it dives into its burrow or a hollow log. The Common Wombat, the species featured on the card, is the only living member of its genus Vombatus, though it is similar in appearance to Australia’s two other wombat species, the main difference being the absence of hair on its nose and courser fur. The Common Wombat’s main habitats are limited to south-eastern Australia.

Thanks to Bonnie for this supercute card!
