About
The common wombat is a stout, burrowing Australian marsupial about the size and weight of a medium dog.
It is the largest of the three living wombat species, easily recognized by its hairless nose. Adults typically weigh between 44 and 77 pounds (20 to 35 kg), with females often averaging slightly heavier than males. Despite having short legs and a low profile, their dense, muscular frames give them surprising power for digging extensive underground burrows.

It has three subspecies: Vombatus ursinus hirsutus, found on the Australian mainland; Vombatus ursinus tasmaniensis, found in Tasmania; and Vombatus ursinus ursinus, found on Flinders Island and Maria Island in the Bass Strait.
