The gestation period of a wombat is 30 days resulting in a single, bean-sized, 1 gram offspring. The joey is blind and crawls from the birth canal, following the smell of its mother's milk into the backwards facing pouch. For the next 7-8 months, the joey is completely dependent on its mother, even for warmth since it cannot control its own body temperature. The joey leaves the pouch permanently at about 10 months, but stays with its mother for a further 5-10 months.

Adult Male Walruses reach sexual maturity as early as 7 years but typically dont get to mate until they are around 15 years old. Females on the other hand reach maturity between 4 to 6 years. Gestation usually lasts between 15 to 16 months at the end of which a single calf is born. Calves are born during Spring between April to June. The calves weigh between 45 to 75 kilograms (100 to 170 pounds) at birth. Mothers nurse the young ones for over a year and the youngsters stay with their mothers for upto 3 to 5 years.

What type of birth do wombats have?
Baby wombats, or joeys, are born live from the mother's birth canal. Although blind, hairless and completely helpless, the joey (about the size of a bean) clings to its mother's fur, making a long and arduous journey completely by instinct, up to the pouch. Once there, the joey attaches its mouth to a teat, which swells in its mouth to prevent it from being accidentally dislodged.

Are wombats a predator?
Not at all. Wombats are quite stubborn, and if a person reached for a clump of grass at the same time as a wombat did, he would find his hand or arm the victim of a strong wombat bite. Wombats do not actively seek to harm any other living creature, as long as they are left to do their own thing in peace.
What are some of the wombats survial skills?
Wombats are herbivorous and live in burrows. They are the largest herbivorous burrowing animals in the world. They have a stout body, blunt head and broad paws with strong claws making it a powerful earth-mover, burrowing up to 2 metres a night. A typical burrow is about 50 cm high and 50 cm wide and can be up to 30 metres long with several chambers including nursery burrows. Burrows provide wombats with protection from predators, weather and bushfires. A predator following a wombat into its burrow can be crushed against the roof by the wombat's powerful rump, however, a wombat will abandon the burrow if a snake moves in. When wombats are resting in a burrow, their metabolism slows to two-thirds of normal to conserve water and energy.
