I nearly walked on this little guy at Darby River in Wilson’s Promontory National Park as he was beautifully camouflaged. Apparently because of the sand dunes in this particular part of the park, the wombats have evolved to be white, rather than their usual brown colour. I thought i had stumbled upon a rare albino wombat, but talking to the rangers, they are common in this area.

We were out hiking and this little guy that I’d been hand-raising jumped into the pond after the family dog. I thought he’d sink like a stone, but there he was calmly paddling around. After a few minutes he trotted out and strolled away into the bush.

This is a rescued baby wombat, whose mother was killed by a car. He weighs just 1 kilogram, has only just grown his fur coat, and spends most of the day in his wool pouch sleeping. Whilst in Tasmania, in 1 day I saw 6 dead wombats on the side of the road. I didn’t need to check any of their pouches as two were male and the other 4 were so badly decomposed that no young would have still been alive. I hope someone else who came across them before me checked them. I know that some animal/vehicle collisions can’t be avoided, but I really wish people would slow down and take more care. Some even treat animals on the road as sport and deliberately mow them down. To that I shake my head and really do wonder what the $&&@ is wrong with some people…..

This little guy was quite happy to have his photo taken, even let me pet him…and he is a wild wombat!!!! / Wombats are Australian marsupials; they are short-legged, muscular quadrupeds, approximately 1 metre (39 in) in length with a very short tail. They are found in forested, mountainous, and heathland areas of south-eastern Australia and Tasmania. The name wombat comes from the Eora Aboriginal community who were the original inhabitants of the Sydney area. / Wombats dig extensive burrow systems with rodent like front teeth and powerful claws. Although mainly crepuscular and nocturnal, wombats will also venture out to feed on cool or overcast days. They are not as commonly seen as many animals, but leave ample evidence of their passage, treating fences as a minor inconvenience to be gone through or under and leaving distinctive cubic scat.Their fur colour can vary from a sandy colour to brown, or from grey to black. Each of the species is around 1 m (39 in) in length and weighs between 20 and 35 kg (44 and 77 lb). / Female wombats give birth to a single young in the spring, after a gestation period lasting 26–28 days. They have a well-developed pouch, which the young leave after about 6–7 months. Wombats are weaned after 15 months, and are sexually mature at 18 months of age.

I was very lucky to have been able to take this shot as Wombats are not very often seen in their natural habitat during the day. If was a rather overcast day and in the depths of a pine forest west of Sydney.

Wombats don’t usually play together, but young ones are very playful, usually giving mother wombat a hard time of it. I once cared for two orphan wombats at once, sometimes they would both get in the silly playful mood.

Featured Australian Wildlife 22/07/09 / Featured Australia Your Standing in It 20/07/09 The Southern hairy nosed wombat is also called the Soft furred wombat, the Plains wombat, the Long eared wombat, the Broad nosed wombat, and the Hairy nosed southern wombat. Nickname: Bulldozer of the bush All Southern hairy-nosed wombats belong to a single species, Lasiorhinus latifrons. They are most commonly found in the southernmost area of central Australia, including: the southern coastal region of South Australia, and the southeast corner of Western Australia. The Southern hairy nosed wombat’s range once included the southwestern portion of Queensland, but it is now extinct there. Within its range, populations of the Southern hairy-nosed wombat are fragmented. / / The Southern hairy nosed wombat lives in arid and semi-arid inland regions including grass plains, savannahs, open woodlands, and steppe with low shrubs, as well as sandy or limestone coastal regions. Annual rainfall in these areas is about 200-500 mm (8-20 inches). They grow to a length of 75 to 100 cm (30 to 40 inches). It has a height of 25 to 35 cm (10 to 14 inches), and has a tail of 2.5 to 6 cm (1 to 2.4 inches). Its full-grown weight ranges from 18 to 32 kg (40 to 68 pounds). / / The Southern hairy nosed wombat is quite similar to the Northern Hairy-nosed wombat, but is somewhat smaller overall. It also has a narrower muzzle, and tends to have lighter patches above and below its eyes. Southern hairy-nosed wombats live in complex tunnel systems with several entrances. The tunnels are often excavated under limestone formations. From 5 to 10 wombats live in each tunnel system, with an equal number of males and females / / The Southern hairy nosed wombat’s head is more angular than that of the common wombatCentered around their warrens, the home range of the Southern Hairy-nosed wombat is about 2.5 to 4 hectares (6 to 10 acres), the size of which depends on the quality of their grazing area. Their population density is similar to the other wombats, and can reach about 0.2 per hectare (0.1 per acre). Southern hairy-nosed wombats are easier to keep in captivity than Common wombats as they are more docile. Information courtesy of Womania ! Olympus 570uz All profit pleadged to the wildlife appeal

Best viewed large This is a selection of images from my recent visit to Cradle Mountain, Tasmania. I stayed in the fabulous Cradle Mountain Lodge, and all of the creatures shown were wild and were right on my doorstep. The shots were taken with a Canon 5D and either a 100-400mm lens (wombats, pademelons, and currawong), a 24-105mm lens (landscape scene), or my 105mm macro lens (lizard feet). This composite was uploaded so that a card can be ordered as a special thankyou to a fabulous booking agent who did us a huge favour!
