Believe it or not, this little
animal
is a Wombat and a plush toy from Hansa. Wombats live in
Australia. They are diggers like the Badger. Their burrows have
a nest at the end. The average size of the burrow is about 15
feet, but they can dig burrows up to 100 feet long. The wombat's
sturdy limbs are equipped with stout claws, perfect for digging.
This little animal is about 4 feet long
and weighs on average 80 pounds. It is a vegetarian and ambles
about at night looking for grasses, roots and tree bark. Wombats
make good pets and will eat all kinds of vegetables. Its voice
is a harsh cough. The colors can be almost black to yellowish.
Wombats are solitary creatures and long
lived, living up to 30 years. Their breeding season is from April
to June. The mother has one baby that she carries around in her
pouch. Wombats are marsupials.
