Wake-up with a wisdom of wombats on #InternationalWombatDay! ❤️

Their stocky frame, wide claws and backwards facing pouch lend wombats to being effective burrowers, but they can also move swiftly running as fast as 40km per hour! 🏃‍♀️

🔥 During bushfires wombat burrows are essential in providing protection for many species and by aerating soils through digging, wombats play an important role in maintaining Aussie landscapes.
