Wombats Australia
Wombats in Australia are facing extinction. The northern hairy nosed wombat, although, they have come back from the absolute brink is classed as critically endangered – our generation came perilously close to losing them. The Southern Hairy Nosed is classified as threatened, and our local guy, known as the common wombat, is classified as near-threatened.

Just like a baby kangaroo, baby wombats are called Joeys. A joey can remain in its mothers pouch for up-to a year.
