Having such a short, vestigial tail which is concealed under its fur offers the wombat better protection from predators. Wombats live in burrows. For defence, the wombat literally uses its backside. It has extra tough, thick skin on its lower back. Because a wombat's burrow is only just big enough for the wombat itself to fit into, in the event of a dog or dingo attack, it will present only that thicker hide to the aggressor, a hide that is difficult for a dingo's teeth to penetrate, and with no tail to grasp, the dingo cannot pull the animal out.

∙ 11y agoThis varies according to the species. Koalas, for example, have no tail at all - just extra thick hide with padding for sitting on gum tree branches all day. Wombats also do not have a tail. Possums have a prehensile tail for gripping tree branches, kangaroos have a long, strong tail for balancing, and most other marsupials such as gliders, numbats, phascogales and quolls all have a tail.

Wombats are much larger, with solid, stocky bodies and strong hind legs and forelegs.

Yes. Like all marsupials, the young wombat (joey) spends many months developing in the mother's pouch.
It starts out a kit and then it becomes a adult beaver.

There's a whole veriety. Some look like beaver while others look like parrots
The nutria, also known as coypu, is a common animal found in Louisiana that resembles a mix between a beaver and a big rat. Nutrias are large rodents with long orange teeth, webbed feet, and a rat-like tail. They are considered an invasive species in the region.
