It's good to hear numbers of Northern Hairy Nose wombats are picking up. There was a dingo attack (maybe a single dingo) that wiped out 10% of the entire population in 2002.
My niece has raised a few (she's a zookeeper), and they're amazing little animals that become huge amazing animals. They're friendly, playful and love company. There's one that roams on my parent's 20acre farm (but it's wild, so we leave it alone).
I thought this little video might sidetrack everyone from their regular cat watching: https://youtu.be/oCZ9Zyi6XaA
hm, the article says the opposite about the common wombat.
> Now, despite its name, the common wombat is no longer common. Overgrazing and the destruction of their natural habitat has caused a sharp drop in their numbers; all species of wombat are now protected, and the northern hairy-nosed wombat is critically endangered.
(The ‘cubic poo’ is such a feature of the Overland Track in Tasmania’s Cradle Mountain National Park it has inspired the above poem... I originally saw it posted on the walls of a drop toilet at a campsite on the track)
