Life in a wombat burrow
Article Abstract:
The burrowing habits of the Australian marsupial, the wombat, are examined, focusing on how an animal with such a scant diet based on grasses and other herbage can develop the energy to create large warren complexes. Topics include observation techniques of research scientists, tunnel architecture, shelter that underground tunnels provide from a harsh environment, and oxygen and carbon dioxide levels of tunnels.
