World WOMBAT Day 2018

HAPPY WORLD WOMBAT DAY
This is a great image that shows how much at risk our wombats actually are. Did you know how endangered the Northern Hairy Nose wombat is? Next time you are talking to someone about wildlife- maybe mention this? If you are doing a project on an animal- maybe look at choosing an australian animal that is endangered to raise some awareness for it. We often think of international animals when we think "endangered" but there are so many of our own animals that are at risk of extinction!

Habitat destruction is a major threat to wombats - forcing them onto roads to look for new homes and food where they get hit by cars. SO be sure to slow down on roads in wildlife areas between DUSK-9am and CALL it in if you see one hit or dead. Girls have a pouch that needs to be checked for a joey (baby). PLEASE CALL! 
Watch this video to see how fast a wombat is- I bet you didn't think they were this fast! CLICK LINK

​Also disease. I have collected milk caps to go onto wombat mange treatment flaps. It is treatable in wombats (but not in koalas) so if you see one that's effected by mange- call it in. 

Wombats all over Australia need our help- here are some links to groups that you can support that help our wombats. Click on name for websites-
