The wombat is a marsupial that digs burrows. It is about 1 metre long and can weigh from 25-35 kilograms. They are the largest burrowing mammals. It is solidly built with large claws for digging. It is nocturnal and eats grasses,roots and shrubs. The female's pouch has an opening facing the back legs so that when she is digging the pouch does not fill with soil. The female wombat gives birth to one very tiny young, which moves to her pouch after being born. It stays in her pouch for about 6 months, suckling milk from a teat in her pouch. After it leaves the pouch, it will follow her for another 11 months.
