Usually, one very small, underdeveloped wombat is born following a short gestation period (probably 30 days). It makes its way to the pouch, where it grows and develops for 6-10 months. The young then leaves the pouch and remains with its mother for further 8-10 months before becoming independent. Bare-nosed Wombats become sexually mature after two years and live up to 11 years in the wild. In captivity, individuals can live well into their twenties. Breeding behaviours You may choose to restrict the collection or use of your personal information in the following ways: Breeding may occur at any time of the year, with a single young being born. However, in the highlands of New South Wales, most wombats give birth during December-March, while in Tasmania there is an apparent bias towards October-January being the birthing season. On Flinders Island no births occur between September-January months. we gather We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons:
In the 1980s this was at an all-time low of around 35 Northern hairy-nosed wombats. So conservationists are succeeding in reversing this wombat decline.

All three wombat species live in Australia and Tasmania. Their habitats include mountainous regions, forests, and grasslands. 15. Critically endangered The three species are the Bare-Nosed Wombat (Vombatus Ursinus), the Southern Hairy-nosed (Lasiorhinus latifrons), and the Northern Hairy Nosed (Lasiorhinus krefftii).
Even though wombats sometimes live together in interconnected burrows, they’re generally shy creatures. Male northern hairy nosed wombats live alone, while females can get along well enough to share an underground home. There are several subspecies of the common wombat: the Mainland Common Wombat ( Vombatus ursinus hirsutus), Tasmanian wombat ( Vombatus Ursinus Tasmaniensis), and the Flinders Island wombat ( Vombatus ursinus ursinus).To give this some perspective, the wombat drawing was created around the beginning of the bronze age. 11.

Today’s wombat is much smaller than their ancestors. Diprotodons were huge marsupials that roamed Australia in herds around the time of the Ice Age. Other diseases recorded in wombats include diabetes, arthritis, cancer, asthma and pneumonia, however, there is limited knowledge on this aspect of wombat’s life. Danger to humans One rare occurrence of wombats depicted in ancient aboriginal artwork appears in Australia’s Wollemi National Park. The wombat in the drawings is believed to date from around 4000 years ago.
