Animal Facts
The common wombat can achieve and maintain a speed of 40kmh for up to 90 seconds.
The wombat’s closest living relative is the koala.
The skin of the common wombat is extremely tough – it often uses its hindquarters to block burrow entrances from predators as it can withstand strong bites.
The word ‘wombat’ comes from the Darug language, which was spoken by the Aboriginal Darug people native to the Sydney basin.
Wombat faeces are cube shaped, and are used to mark territories or attract mates.
