Bindi, Jungle Girl: wombats

Bindi with one of Australia Zoo's wombats

If you’ve always wanted to know more about animals, Bindi Irwin is the little girl to ask. Each month, Bindi will write about a different animal and answer readers’ questions in the magazine.

In April, Bindi is on a mission to save a much-loved Australian marsupial — the northern hairy-nosed wombat.

Pick up a copy of the April issue of The Australian Women’s Weekly to read more about wombats and see below for information on how to ask Bindi your most pressing wildlife questions.

Question

What do wombats like to eat?

Taylor Scott, North Dandenong, Vic.

Answer

That’s a great question, Taylor. These little guys love grazing on delicious grasses. Our zoo wombats love eating bark and roots they find while digging their burrows, and as a treat, they love sweet potato, corn and carrots.
