Happy International Wombat Day!🇦🇺
Did you know there are three species of wombats in Australia? The common bare-nosed wombat, the southern hairy-nosed wombat, and the northern hairy-nosed wombat, which is critically endangered.
Today is a chance to celebrate these incredible native, burrowing marsupials, learn more about their unique characteristics, and raise awareness of the importance of protecting them and their habitats. 🌿
The recent events in Nillumbik involving our local wombats have been truly heartbreaking. 💔 Our wildlife deserves to be treated with kindness, compassion and respect.
A heartfelt thank you to all the dedicated Wildlife Rescuers who work tirelessly to protect and care for our precious native animals. Your efforts do not go unnoticed, and you are truly appreciated. 🙏💚
Let’s celebrate our wombats, protect their future, and give them the safe and peaceful lives they deserve. 🌏
