"The Common Wombat is one of Australia’s many iconic animals and, true to its name, is the least endangered of the three Wombat species. They are also called the Bare-Nosed Wombat, to contrast their hairy-nosed cousins. All wombats have constantly-growing teeth similar to rodents and lagomorphs, but they are neither, instead being marsupials. You’re probably imagining a pouch like a kangaroo’s, but a wombat’s pouch faces backwards, opening towards the rear, so that they won’t get dirt in it when digging burrows. A group of them can be called a wisdom, their feces are cube-shaped, they are so dense and low to the ground that a car can get damaged or flipped over hitting one, their primary defensive strategy relies on their rock-hard bottoms, and, like many other Australian Marsupials, they are biofluorescent under UV light. They have also been known to attack humans. I hope these fun facts help inform your decision."
