=Susannah's report on an endangered Australian animal .= Subject: Australian Endangered Animals wombats: Wombats lives in the wet partly forest areas on the land beside the sea or on the ranges.

Wombats have short muscular legs. They are approximately 1metre (39in) in length with short tail. Wombats have big blunt heads and small eyes and ears with short muscular neck. Their claws make them strong diggers. Wombats eat mainly grasses. They spend approximately three to eight hours every night eating native grasses such as snow grass, Wallaby grass and kargaroo grass. They can also eat sedges and the roots trees. Wombats cut food with their teeth. The Wombats may have up to 3km at night looking for food. They can be found in wet partly forest areas on the land beside the sea or on the range. Wombats are usually alone when they give birth. They usually only have one young at a time. Wombats communicate with their Youngers. The baby can remain in the mother's pouch for six months. They spend most of the day sleeping in their holes. During their feeding at night other animals will hunt them. Wombats are protected because it takes a long time for them to reproduce. The reason why the numbers of wombats are decreasing is because human are hunting trapping, poisoning and killing them while crossing roads. To help increased the population of wombats, people are being more careful while driving on the roads and they are trying to stop people from hunting and trapping them.
