Common wombat
Vombatus ursinus
-41.8304, 146.005
Field Notes
Description:
hairless nose, smaller ears, rounder head, and longer fur distinguishes it from hairy-nosed species of wombats. Resembling a small bear, the common wombat has coarse, bristle-like fur that ranges in color from sandy hues to darker brown and grey
Habitat:
whole of Tasmania
Notes:
plentiful throughout the park. Walk on any of the boardwalks and you are likely to spot the tell tale sign of the cube-shaped dung. A visit to any of these places at dusk or dawn is probably going to lead to wombat sightings (they are nocturnal and crepuscular),
