Hello
Wednesday, hello world, let us talk about creatures as being
Wednesday means it is creature day and today's creature is the
wombat.
They
are short-legged, muscular marsupials native to Australia, they are
mostly nocturnal, coming out at night to eat grass, herbs, bark and
roots.
They
weigh around 20-35 kilos and those short legs can move pretty fast
when they are scared or feel threatened as fast as 40 km/h.
Their
gestation period is only 20-22days, the baby is called a joey and it
will remain in its mum's pouch for around 6-8 months. They have a
backward facing pouch which protects the young from having soil on it
when it digs it's burrows.
At
2yrs old they will be fully grown. They have a lifespan of only
around 5 years in the wild but in captivity they can live for as long
as 30yrs.
They
have the driest poo of any mammal, which is due in part to the fact
that they have an incredibly long digestive process that can take
between 14-18 days.
Although
they look cute and cuddly they are dangerous and have been known to
attack humans.
The
are considered to be pretty smart and have the biggest brain of all
marsupials.
They multiply fast but they take a long time to grow!
ReplyDeleteLots of interesting facts on these. :)
ReplyDeleteGood facts there Jo-Anne, and they won't necessarily move either if they are used to humans.
ReplyDeleteHi Jo-Anne - good to read something about these creatures ... I've never seen one and knew little - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI'd heard of the wombat before but never saw a picture or any information about them. They sort of remind me of a Possum.
