Wombats AustraliaWombats can still be found living in the wild in various parts of Australia, primarily on the south east coast as well as including Tasmania and other smaller islands. These marsupials have a backward pouch for carrying their young and have larger brains than other marsupials. As pets: They are not suited to be pets, they are strong and determined creatures, have sharp claws, like to burrow and forage extensively and they, like many other native animals found in Australia, are nocturnal. It may just be a whole lot simpler to buy a stuffed toy animal. They are also protected under Australian law. Efforts are being made to help the surviving populations of wombats scattered around the country. Zoos and animal sanctuaries contribute greatly to this work, these are probably the best places to see them. If your lucky they may have some very friendly ones that you can pet up close. Photo: Wombats can be found in Tasmania and various parts of continental Australia. Australia Tourist GuideWithin the park, there are resorts, motels, cabins and camping grounds available.
