Wombats By Barbara Triggs |

Australian Natural History Series
One of Australia’s most engaging marsupials, the
wombat is also one of the most disparaged and least understood. Often
depicted as slow, muddle-headed and clumsy, it can, in fact, outpace a
human or a dog over a short distance. Wombats are quick to learn and
superbly adapted to their burrowing way of life.
This book gives a full account of how wombats live and the many hazards they face. Dealing mainly with the bare-nosed wombat, it also includes information on the southern hairy-nosed wombat, as well as the northern hairy-nosed wombat, which is one of the world’s most endangered animals. The book also gives practical advice on rearing orphan wombats. Completely revised, this new edition has over 100 illustrations, including 23 colour plates and drawings by Peter Schouten. Soft laminated cover. 153 pages. approx. 240mm X 170mm. 2nd Edition (2009). ISBN 9780643096011. Out of Print |
