Wombats

Hear about wombats and the threats they face including being killed on roads, loss of habitat and mange.

Mange is a skin infection caused by a burrowing parasitic mite. Once an animal is infected it can result in aggressive scratching, hair loss, skin thickening and crusting, skin discoloration, open wounds (from scratching), weight loss, and in severe cases, death.

Learn practical advice on how you can help get better outcomes for our iconic wombats.
