Common Wombat (Vombatus ursinus) in Wollemi National Park, NSW

Common Wombat (Vombatus ursinus) grazing in Wollemi National Park, NSW, Australia. The Common Wombat is the only living member of its genus Vombatus, and is similar in appearance to two remaining wombat species (Southern and Northern Hairy-nosed Wombats) belonging to the genus Lasiorhinus. The main differences are the absence of hair on the nose in the Common Wombat, its coarser hair and narrower nasal bones than in Lasiorhinus
