Launched in 2015, WomSAT (Wombat Survey and Analysis Tool) is a citizen science project and website that allows “wombat warriors” to report sightings of wombats, their burrows, and even their cube-shaped poops.
The project initially aimed to uncover information on all things wombat from across Australia, particularly threats. Its ultimate aim is to support conservation, informed by an enhanced understanding of wombat biology.

INTRODUCTION Sarcoptic mange, caused by a burrowing mite Sarcoptes scabiei, occurs worldwide and has a large number of mammalian host species. As well as infecting numerous domestic animals, sarcoptic mange can infect wildlife (Pence & Ueckermann 2002). Compared to domestic animals, sarcoptic mange in wildlife is a particularly serious issue as they do not undergo regular treatments or come into regular contact with humans enabling intervention.

You’re a mammal. So is a kangaroo. We’ve got much in common. But one of the most interesting is we all feed our newborns with milk. The word mammal comes from mamma, which is Latin for breast. In Australia, we have many placental mammal species, like bats and native rodents. Humans are placental mammals too. But our country is far better known for our marsupials and monotremes, which have different reproductive strategies to placental mammals.

If you look at where wombats deposit their poo, you realize they must be able to perform some surprising acrobatics. It has always amazed me to see wombat scats on top of grass tussocks or logs, because I've always wondered how the stocky creatures must have maneuvered themselves to put it there.
