This individual was browsing on grass on Squeaky Beach at Wilsons Promontory National Park. As you can probably work out from the close up images, this individual was not in the least phased by my presence, and carried on eating even when I was taking photographs.
I think the pictures where the wombat seems to be trying to hide behind a small patch of grass as misleading!
On the mainland of Australia wombats are about 1m long and weigh around 27 kg. I think this makes them the largest hole dwelling herbivores in the world.
Wombats are an absolutely wonderful animal, and I love just finding them when I am out for a walk.
These pictures can from one of my recent trip to The Prom where I am getting my legs ready for a winter walk in Central Australia. I this convinces people that I have been doing more in the last couple of months than just process images from India!
Hope all is well. SM
