About [Edit]
The Wombat Foundation is a charitable organisation set up to support activities that aim to bring the northern hairy-nosed wombat back from the brink of extinction.
The Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat, Lasiorhinus krefftii, is the world's largest wombat species.
It is critically endangered with only 115 surviving in the last wild population at Epping Forest National Park (Scientific) in central Queensland.
The Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat is also the world's largest burrowing herbivore. Adults weigh up to 40kg and can live to 30 years of age in captivity and at least 23 years in the wild.
There are no Northern Hairy-nosed Wombats currently in captivity because wombat husbandry is not well understood and, so far, wombats have not been reliably bred in captivity.
Northern hairy-nosed wombat burrows
- Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat burrows are constructed in deep sandy soil.
- They can be up to 3.5 m deep and > 20 m long.
- Because of the sandy soils, wombats need to regularly maintain their burrows.
