Wombat
With its large head, big nose & small rounded ears, the wombat is native to Australia. It is the largest burrowing mammal. The female wombat’s pouch faces backwards, so no dirt can enter.
Wombats tunnel into the sides of hills with their large claws to make their dens. If an intruder such as a fox or dingo chases the wombat into their den, there is trouble! The wombat uses its hard, bony back to crush the intruder against the burrow wall.
