袋熊, 澳洲熊
a short-legged mammal like a bear that carries its babies in a pouch and is native to Australia
The wombat is a marsupial native to Australia known for its stocky, burly appearance and burrowing behavior. They have a robust body, short legs, and a large head, with a thick coat of fur that helps them stay warm in their underground burrows. Wombats are herbivorous and primarily feed on grasses, roots, and bark. They are well adapted to their subterranean lifestyle, with strong claws and powerful limbs that enable them to dig extensive burrow systems. Wombats are solitary animals that are mostly active at night and are known for their slow, lumbering gait. They are unique and fascinating creatures that are highly adapted to their environment and are considered an important part of Australia's native wildlife.
