Adorable critically endangered wombat cub captured on nature camera
Rare footage captured one of the 400 endangered hairy-nosed wombats on a surveillance camera near a nature refuge in Queensland, Australia.
Nearly 100 years ago, hairy-nosed wombats were thought to be extinct until a small population of about 30 individuals was discovered in the 1930s near Epping Forest National Park in Queensland.
Today, the Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat is one of Australia’s rarest mammals, with only three populations remaining: in Epping Forest National Park (Scientific), a newly introduced population in Powrunna State Forest, and at the RUNR site.
All three populations are protected by Queensland’s Department of Environment.
