Generally found in the cooler temperate regions of Australia the Common Wombat is quite often sighted when out spotlighting of a night time, and very often heard grunting and snuffling around unsuspecting campers.
It is a fiesty creature that can certainly look after itself so always be a little wary if you come across one.

South and Eastern Australia on the whole, from Southern Queensland right round and down to the coast of Victoria and New South Wales
Diet:
grasses, flower,s bushes and trees as well as some fungi.
