binomial_authority = (Owen, 1845)The Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat ("Lasiorhinus latifrons") is one of three species of wombats. It is found in scattered areas of semi-arid scrub and mallee from the eastern Nullarbor Plain to the New South Wales border area. It is the smallest wombat at around 775 to 935 mm and 20 to 32 kg, and the young often do not survive dry seasons. It is classified as vulnerable by the local authorities: a healthy population still remains but appears to be ageing; it is feared that the consistently sparse rainfall of recent years has prevented successful breeding. (It takes three consecutive good seasons for a Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat to reach near-adulthood.) Wombat specialists are concerned that a continuation of the current trend to dryer climate in arid southern Australia could be a serious threat to the Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat.
