The southern hairy-nosed wombat is a marsupial mammal from Australia. It digs long burrows in dry areas and feeds on grass.
The southern hairy-nosed wombat differs from the common wombat by its hairy nose and life in drier places. Its burrows provide shelter for many small animals, and its digging helps the soil.
