Wombats are native to Australia. Depending on the species, wombats live in the southern part of Queensland, Tasmania, South Australia, Victoria, and NSW, and the southwestern corner of Western Australia. They range from grasslands to mountains and hillsides - wherever they can dig burrows and find food. They tend not to be found in desert regions, because there is insufficient food.

Wombats dig burrows in which to live. Burrows average about 50 cm high by 50 cm wide, just enough width for the wombat and nothing else. This is because, if threatened, a wombat can present just its padded backside to a predator, and the predator has no way of grabbing hold of the wombat or penetrating its thickened hide.

Wombats feed on grasses and sedges.
