Wombats and The

Maple Sugar Tree

By: Elisha Hill

wombats are extremely strong and muscular. They're

animals with a barrel-shaped body, big and fat. They have

a short, strong neck, and a, flat head. They have small

eyes. While they can’t see that good, they have a great

sense of smell and excellent hearing. They are also able to

detect slight ground movement.

HOW DO A WOMBATS PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS HELP IT SURVIVE?

For protection , the wombat uses its backside. It has extra strong , 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 turn around and present only that thicker hide to the enemy, a hide that is difficult for a dingo's teeth to destroy. In the absence of a wombat tail, there is nothing for a predator to grasp onto,

either.

THE WOMBATS HABITAT Wombats have a lot of adaptations that allow them to live in a lot of

habitats from grasslands, to the bush, to mountain s. Their front legs are equipped with sharp claws for digging. This let’s them to both forage for plants roots (one of their food sources), and dig burrows for shelter. The claws are strong enough to enable the wombat to dig in the toughest soil. The only surfaces they cannot dig in are solid rock and loose

beach-like sand. They are nocturnal, sheltering in their burrows during the day.

PHYSICAL LOCATIONS FOR

WOMBATS Wombats are native to Australia.

Depending on there types, wombats live in the southern part of

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.
