1. Wombats adapted from the ABC website by Miss Hill
This PPT has only been constructed as a backup in case of network failure so that we can use it if there is no access to the website, which is much better and has lots of extra info. The text is mine, but the pictures are all from the website except the clip art on the first slide.

2. Wombats have soft fur. They are mammals.
Wombats have thick soft fur. Their strong legs and claws are good for digging burrows to live in.
Their teeth grow continuously, so if they break a tooth it just re-grows.

3. Wombats use their claws to dig.

4. Wombats live in burrows.
Most of the day they sleep in a burrow. In the evening or at night they go looking for food.
They are herbivores – they like grasses, tree roots and soft mosses
Wombat droppings are called scats. Each wombat's scats have a different smell.
They leave them outside their burrows.
Scats help a wombat find its own burrow when it returns after a busy night looking for food.
They also tell other wombats if a burrow is occupied.

5. Wombats like to hide.
They are very shy.

6. Wombats like to rest in the day.
They are nocturnal animals.

7. Wombats like to swim.
To keep themselves clean they have a dust bath. They lie on their side and scoop sand over themselves.
They can swim.

8. Baby wombats drink the mum’s milk.
A female wombat's pouch opens backwards so that when mum is digging she doesn't cover her baby with sand. Because wombat babies live in their mother's pouch drinking her milk, wombats are marsupials.
Baby wombats stay with their mum for about two years. They then have to look after themselves.
