Wombats are hunted throughout their region by aboriginal people. These native cultures consider wombats a part of their culture and enjoy eating their meat. However, they are cautious not to hunt them too frequently, as it takes a lot of time and energy to capture a wombat (Davies, 1998). Wombats have also been captured and domesticated as pets (Nowak, 1991).

When southern hairy-nosed wombats graze in front of their burrows, they may create an area with a higher density of new green shoots, a sign of delayed growth of individual grass plants (Wells, 1987). Additionally, other animals, such as introduced rabbits and foxes, may use wombat burrows. Southern hairy-nosed wombats are known to harbor a number of parasites, but seemingly with no effect on the wombats. Also, they may contract bacterial and fungal diseases.

Benefits

provided by Animal Diversity Web

Southern hairy-nosed wombats are sometimes agricultural pests. When they dig their burrows, they can destroy crops. The coexistence of wombats and livestock pose a resource competition problem (Nowak, 1991). Additionally, livestock can sometimes break their legs when they break through into a wombat burrow (Nowak, 1991). Burrows also provide problems for farmers because they are good habitats for other pest species such as rabbits (Nowak, 1991). Many farmers also incorrectly believe that wombats destroy fences on their properties (Nowak, 1991).

Trophic Strategy

provided by Animal Diversity Web

Southern hairy-nosed wombats are herbivorous, grazing primarily on grasses and herbs. When available, they prefer new green shoots of grass, especially species in the genus Stipa, and will eat them until they are no longer available (“Southern Hairy-Nosed Wombat”, 1997). During droughts, wombats have been known to eat leaves and stems of short bushes, particularly the bluebush species in the genus Maireana (Wells, 1987). There is some evidence that wombats feed on roots during dry periods, with some preference shown for Eucalyptus species (Wells, 1987).

When feeding, southern hairy-nosed wombats choose green shoots if they are present to maximize their water and nutrient uptake. The digestive system has two adaptations that aid wombats in the uptake of water and energy from their food sources. Wombats use fermentation by bacterial colonies in their intestines to help them digest cellulose (Ride, 1970). Additionally, their feces is very dry, containing only 50% water (Ride, 1970).

Conservation Status

provided by Animal Diversity Web

Southern hairy-nosed wombats have withstood massive habitat loss due to human clearing of land. They are considered threatened, but are not listed as an endangered species (Cronin, 2000). Currently, one of the main threats to their survival is the spread of rabbits throughout Australia. Rabbits, and domestic livestock, compete with wombats for forage, leading to overgrazing in many areas. Once the land is overgrazed, dominant grass species shift from perennial ones, the native diet of wombats, to annual species that do not provide wombats with all of their metabolic needs (Wells, 1995). Additionally, human clearing of the land removes the vegetation that the wombats rely on during drought periods (“Southern Hairy-Nosed Wombat”, 1999). Hunting of wombats by aboriginal people is not considered a serious threat. Wombats are valued by aboriginal people, who will often leave their own land to hunt wombats elsewhere so that they can keep their own wombat populations healthy (Davies, 1998). Low wombat reproduction rates means that populations do not quickly recover from disruptions.

Life Expectancy

provided by Animal Diversity Web

Because southern hairy-nosed wombats have continuously growing teeth, it is difficult to non-invasively collect data about wombat age. The best means to make an estimate of an animal’s age is to tag and track it over the course of its life. In a study that tracked and tagged adult wombats, individuals lived for 14 years (Wells, 1987). The main limit on the lifespan of Lasiorhinus latifrons is the amount of rainfall in a season rather than predation (Wells, 1987). Wombats are able to escape predators because they live in burrows.

Morphology

provided by Animal Diversity Web

Southern hairy-nosed wombats are stocky, robust animals, with a lot of power for digging. The body is close to one meter long with short, powerful legs. They are plantigrade and have flattened claws on each of the 5 digits; these are used for digging. On the hind feet, the second and third toes have fused, creating a digit with two claws that the wombats use for grooming (Cronin, 2000). The robust head is flattened and has narrow, pointed ears that extend over its top (Menkhorst, 2001). The incisors are rodent-like. The palate between the molars is wide (Wells, 1987). All the teeth grow continuously throughout their lives, perhaps an adaptation to accommodate their harsh diet. Since hairy-nosed wombats eat a coarser diet than that of common wombats (Vombatus ursinus), they need to masticate their food more thoroughly than that species, so their temporalis muscle is better developed and the masseteric muscle is more reduced (Nakajima and Townsend, 1994). Lasiorhinus latifrons can be distinguished from other Lasiorhinus species because the nasal bone is longer than the frontal bone. The tail is short and usually hidden by fur. The silky fur ranges in color from grey to tan. Soft, usually white, fur covers the rhinarium, giving the animal its name.

Range mass: 19 to 32 kg.

Range length: 772 to 934 mm.

Other Physical Features: endothermic ; heterothermic ; bilateral symmetry

Sexual Dimorphism: male larger

Average basal metabolic rate: 16.001 W.

Associations

Since southern hairy-nosed wombats live in burrows, they can easily escape from predators. No predators are known for Lasiorhinus latifrons, but the closely related Lasiorhinus krefftii are preyed upon by dingoes and feral dogs (Banks, et al., 2003). Predation does not appear to be the main limiting factor in wombat longevity. Wombats are extremely dependent on the amount of rainfall in their habitat, which affects their life-span more than predators.

Behavior

provided by Animal Diversity Web

Southern hairy-nosed wombats communicate with each other through vocalizations and scents. A direct encounter between wombats is rare; they rely more heavily on scent to communicate. Wombats spend considerable time investigating scents left recently by other wombats (Wells, 1978). When two wombats do encounter each other, they make a rough coughing noise (Wells, 1978). When the animal is alarmed, it will use a more strident call to alert others (Wells, 1987). However, most communication between Lasiorhinus latifrons individuals occurs through olfaction and scent marking.

Reproduction

provided by Animal Diversity Web

Little is known about the mating system of Lasiorhinus latifrons. During the breeding season, males are aggressive towards each other, biting the ears, rump, and flanks of other male wombats (Wells, 1995). Females ready for mating may emit a coughing call when they are pursued by males. However, much of the process of selecting a mate is unknown.

Mating System: polygynandrous (promiscuous)

Southern hairy-nosed wombats breed in synchrony with highest growth rates of the native grasses that make up their diet. Because of their dependence on the germination of grasses, their reproduction is affected by the amount of winter rainfall (Wells, 1987). During periods of drought, native grasses do not grow, and wombats do not breed. When the grasses begin to germinate, female wombats become ready for reproduction. Males also reach their peak reproductive activity when females are active (Temple-Smith et al., 2000). During the breeding season, males are aggressive towards each other and maintain dominance hierarchies (Cronin, 2000). Mating occurs in the burrow, with males usually remaining in one warren, while females move among them. When wombats copulate, the male lengthens the time of intromission by turning the female on her side and mounting her from behind (Wells, 1995). Female wombats usually give birth between September and December. A single young is born after 21 days of gestation. The juvenile then moves to the pouch where it completes its development. Young begin to leave the pouch between six and eight months of age, and leave permanently by nine months. Young wombats may continue to suckle at the pouch until they have reached 15 months of age (Cronin, 2000). Females are able to reproduce again after weaning is complete. At three years of age, both sexes reach sexual maturity.

Since the breeding of Lasiorhinus latifrons occurs in the summer, young wombats are weaned in the early spring, making them vulnerable to food stress and dependent on the amount of rain received in April (Wells, 1987). Wombats usually require two to three years with enough rainfall to successfully raise young. Without enough rainfall, there is not enough grass to sustain juveniles through their growth (Wells, 1995). Additionally, overgrazing of the land can destroy perennial grasses in favor of annual grasses that do not meet the nutritional needs of juvenile wombats.

Breeding interval: Southern hairy-nosed wombats breed once yearly, if optimal rainfall conditions prevail.

Breeding season: Breeding occurs from September to December.

Range number of offspring: 1 to 2.

Average number of offspring: 1.

Average gestation period: 21 days.

Range weaning age: 6 to 9 months.

Average time to independence: 1 years.

Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (female): 3 years.

Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (male): 3 years.

Key Reproductive Features: iteroparous ; seasonal breeding ; gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); sexual ; viviparous

Average birth mass: 0.5 g.

Average gestation period: 21 days.

Average number of offspring: 1.

Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (male)
Sex: male:
547 days.

Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (female)
Sex: female:
547 days.

Southern hairy-nosed wombat females invest heavily in their young. Since the young of all marsupials are born very early in development and depend on their mother’s milk to complete development, the mother spends a lot of energy producing milk over a long period of time. Additionally, once the young leave the pouch, they return sporadically for more milk while learning how to burrow and graze from their mothers.

Parental Investment: altricial ; pre-fertilization (Provisioning, Protecting: Female); pre-hatching/birth (Provisioning: Female, Protecting: Female); pre-weaning/fledging (Provisioning: Female, Protecting: Female); pre-independence (Provisioning: Female)

Südlicher Haarnasenwombat ( German )

provided by wikipedia DE

Der Südliche Haarnasenwombat (Lasiorhinus latifrons) ist eine Beutelsäugerart aus der Familie der Wombats (Vombatidae).

Beschreibung

Mit 77 bis 98 Zentimetern Körperlänge und einem Gewicht von 19 bis 32 Kilogramm ist der Südliche Haarnasenwombat die kleinste Wombatart. Wie alle Wombats ist auch er durch den massiven, bärenähnlichen Körperbau gekennzeichnet. Die Gliedmaßen sind kurz und kräftig und enden in zum Graben geeigneten Krallen. Der Kopf ist groß und breit, die Augen sind klein, die Ohren hingegen lang und zugespitzt. Im Unterschied zu den anderen Arten ist ihr Fell weich und seidig. Das Fell ist grau bis graubraun gefärbt.

Verbreitung und Lebensraum

 src=
Verbreitungsgebiet des Südlichen Haarnasenwombats

Dieser Wombat lebt in zerstreuten Vorkommen in ariden und semiariden Zonen im südlichen Australien von der Nullarbor-Wüste bis ins südöstliche South Australia. Im Südwesten von New South Wales wurde diese Art in kleinen Vorkommen erst Ende der 90er Jahre entdeckt.

Diese Art ist gut an aride Gegenden angepasst und lebt in Grasland und offenen Wäldern. Die Bodenstruktur muss stabil genug sein, um die Bauten zu stützen, und ausreichend verlässlicher Grasbewuchs sind Voraussetzung.

In Europa werden Haarnasenwombats nicht gepflegt. Gehalten wurden sie früher in Berlin, Duisburg, Frankfurt, Köln, Paris, Rom, Rotterdam, Basel, London und Budapest.[1]

Lebensweise

Diese Tiere sind nachtaktiv, sie verbringen den Tag in weitläufigen, selbstgegrabenen Bauten, wo die Atmosphäre während der heißen Tageszeit kühl und feucht bleibt. In den Ruhephasen werden der Stoffwechsel und die Körpertemperatur herabgesetzt, um Wasser und Energie einzusparen. Das Bautensystem ist sozialer angelegt als das von Nacktnasenwombats. So leben fünf bis zehn Tiere beider Geschlechter in einem Bautensystem.

In der Nacht begeben sie sich auf Nahrungssuche. Die Nahrung besteht vornehmlich aus mehrjährigen Gräsern (insbesondere Stipa-Arten) sowie Kräutern, Wurzeln und Rinden. Der Wasserbedarf wird über die aufgenommene Nahrung, Regen oder Tau gedeckt. Die Art wurde bislang nicht beim Trinken an Wasserquellen beobachtet.

Fortpflanzung

 src=
Links: Nacktnasenwombat (Vombatus ursinus) und
Rechts: Südlicher Haarnasenwombat (Lasiorhinus latifrons)

Die Fortpflanzung ist mehr saisonal an das Wachstum der Nahrungsgräser angepasst. Das Jungtier kommt üblicherweise zwischen September und November auf die Welt. Die Tragzeit beträgt rund 20 bis 22 Tage, danach verbringen die Neugeborenen sechs bis neun Monate im Beutel der Mutter. Mit rund einem Jahr werden sie entwöhnt und mit zwei bis drei Jahren geschlechtsreif. Die Kindersterblichkeit ist sehr hoch, man sagt, dass Jungtiere drei gute Jahre in Folge brauchen, um zu überleben, was in ariden Gegenden selten ist. Ausgeglichen wird die hohe Sterblichkeit durch eine relativ hohe Lebenserwartung, das höchste Alter eines Tieres in Gefangenschaft betrug 24 Jahre.

Bedrohung

Nach der Besiedlung Australiens durch die Europäer ist der Lebensraum der Südlichen Haarnasenwombats zurückgegangen, allerdings nicht so drastisch wie beim Nördlichen Haarnasenwombat. Die Gründe dafür liegen in der Umwandlung ihres Lebensraumes in Viehweiden, in der Konkurrenz durch eingeschleppte Arten und in der direkten Verfolgung des Menschen. Neben der Bejagung als Pelztier wurden sie auch wegen ihrer Grabtätigkeiten, die Zäune zerstören, als Plage gesehen. Die Gesamtpopulation wird auf 64.000 bis 130.000 Tiere geschätzt.

Die größten Populationen leben in der Nullarbor-Ebene, wo alleine in Südaustralien etwa 50.000–100.000 Tiere vorkommen. Die Bestände im angrenzenden Teil Westaustraliens sind unbekannt. Im Bereich der Murray Lands, einer Region am unteren Murray River in Südaustralien, scheinen noch 10.000–15.000 Tiere zu leben, die allerdings seit 2002 einem dramatischen Bestandsrückgang von 70 % unterworfen waren. Als Ursache dafür werden Trockenperioden und Krankheiten wie Räude vermutet. Die Bestände auf der Yorke und Eyre-Halbinsel sind stark zersplittert. Im Bereich der Gawler Ranges lebten vor 25 Jahren noch 10.000 Tiere. Neuere Zahlen sind hier nicht verfügbar.[2]

Southern hairy-nosed wombat

provided by wikipedia EN

The southern hairy-nosed wombat (Lasiorhinus latifrons) is one of three extant species of wombats. It is found in scattered areas of semiarid scrub and mallee from the eastern Nullarbor Plain to the New South Wales border area. It is the smallest of all three wombat species. The young often do not survive dry seasons. It is the state animal of South Australia.[3]

Among the oldest southern hairy-nosed wombats ever documented were a male and a female from Brookfield Zoo just outside Chicago. Their names were Carver, who lived to be 34, and his mother, Vicky, who lived to be 24.[4] In South Australia in 2010, a domesticated wombat named Wally was also reported as having reached the age of 34.[5] Hamlet, a wombat at the Toronto Zoo, similarly died at age 34.[6]

Taxonomy

English naturalist Richard Owen described the species in 1845.[7] There are three synonyms:

  • Phascolomys lasiorhinus Gould, 1863
  • Lasiorhinus mcoyi Gray, 1863
  • Phascolomys latifrons Owen, 1845[7]

Description

The southern hairy-nosed wombat is adapted to digging; it has a stocky and robust build, flattened claws, and five digits.[8] It is also plantigrade. The body length ranges from 772 to 934 mm (30.4 to 36.8 in) with a body mass ranging from 19 to 32 kg (42 to 71 lb).[8] Its short tail is hidden by its fur. The pelage is silky and is typically greyish or tan in colour. The wombat grooms itself with its second and third toes, which are fused together, except at the tips.[9][10] The head is robust and flattened and the ears are pointed.[11] The snout resembles that of a pig.[9] The animal gets its name from the hairs that cover its rhinarium.[8] The wombat's incisors resemble those of rodents, and its molars are widely spaced by the palate.[9] The teeth keep growing for the entirety of the animal's life, which is likely an adaptation to its harsh diet.[8] Compared to the common wombat, the southern hairy-nosed wombat has a larger temporalis muscle and a smaller masseter muscle.[12] Also, unlike the northern hairy-nosed wombat, the southern hairy-nosed wombat's nasal bone is longer than the frontal bone.[8]

Distribution and habitat

Southern hairy-nosed wombats range though Western Australia, southern South Australia, and south-western New South Wales. They live in semiarid to arid grasslands and woodlands.[11]

Feeding and energy

Closeup of wombat lying down

Southern hairy-nosed wombats, along with other wombat species, select native perennial grasses and sedges, but do consume introduced pasture species, forbs, and the leaves of woody shrubs if their favoured food is not available.[13] Much of the southern hairy-nosed wombat's diet is Austrostipa nitida, which grows around its warren complex and is trimmed as it grazes.[13] This creates an area with a higher density of new green shoots, a sign of delayed growth of individual grass.[9] The teeth of the wombat are more effective in grinding food into small particles than the western grey kangaroo.[9] Its digestive tract has a tiny caecum and a colon divided into parts.[13] The anterior part is relatively small and serves as the site for fermentation, while the posterior part is larger and is where water is reabsorbed. The wombat conserves water by recycling more urea to the colon rather than releasing it as urine. Wombats release less than other herbivorous mammals.[14] As such, the southern hairy-nosed wombat produces very dry faeces, with water contents as low as 40%.[13]

Wombats are also host to a diverse gut microbiome, which is thought to help them derive energy and essential nutrients from their relatively poor diets, as well as assist with nitrogen recycling.[15] It has been estimated that the microbial fermentation of fibre in the wombat gut accounts for>60% of the host's daily energy requirements.[16] Recent molecular research has shown that the diversity and composition of these gut microbial communities vary along the gastrointestinal tract, with differences between the proximal and distal colon sites correlating with where the bulk of microbial fermentation occurs.[17] It has also been shown that captivity can drastically impact the diversity and composition of wombat gut microbes, and that different wild populations harbour different gut microbial communities.[18]

The harsh environment in which the southern hairy-nosed wombat lives is further reflected in its energetics. In captivity, their standard metabolic rate was found to be 130 kl/kg^0.75 per day, which is very low compared to most placental animals and other marsupials.[14][19] They also have the lowest thyroid hormone levels among mammals.[13] The food wombats eat provides more than enough energy.[14] As long as enough food is available, the forage consumed by the wombat can support it during late lactation. It is more effective than a donkey at maintaining its weight on low-quality food.[20]

Burrow system and activities

Southern hairy-nosed wombats dig and live in burrows which they connect into warrens with many entrances. These warrens are their prime refuges and are shared by up to 10 individuals.[13] A wombat digs with its fore claws while sitting up.[21] It leaves its new burrow backwards and pushes out soil with all its paws.[21] The central warren is surrounded by a circle of small, simple burrows 100–150 m from it.[19] The small burrows along the outer edges is where young wombats go when they are displaced from the central warren.[13] Wombats may favour a certain burrow and not share it with others. However, there is no monopolization of burrows.[22] Wombats move between burrows and even warrens. Male wombats are territorial towards wombats from other warrens, possibly to defend food resources and the warren refuges.[13] Trails of droppings connect the burrows. The males also mark their territory with anal scent secretions by rubbing their backs and rumps on objects.[9] Fights between males over territories or mates do occur and involve bites to the ears, flanks, or rumps.[8] Also, a dominance hierarchy exists among males.[8]

Wombats sleeping in a tunnel at Melbourne Zoo.

The burrows of a southern hairy-nosed wombat can have air temperatures around of 14 °C in midwinter to 26 °C in midsummer, the wombat's preferred thermo-neutral zone, while the ambient temperatures outside range from down to around 2 °C in Winter and up to 36 °C or above during Summer.[23] Warrens can make surface conditions in habitats of low humidity and high temperatures better for the wombat.[23] A wombat retires deep in the burrow after foraging.[19] The next night, the wombat moves to the entrance to check if conditions are right before emerging again.[19] In the evening, wombats leave their burrows as the ambient temperature and burrow temperature are the same. In the early morning, when the surface temperature is lower, they retire.[24]

Mating and reproduction

The breeding of the southern hairy-nosed wombat occurs when their favoured food is at its peak growth rates. Their reproduction relies on the winter rainfall, which germinates the grasses.[9] Between August and October, when rainfall is sufficient, females enter ovulation and the males' testosterone levels and prostate gland sizes increase. In years of low rainfall, neither occurs.[13] When breeding, dominance hierarchies among males are established through aggression.[10] Copulation takes place in the warren, with males remaining in one burrow and females moving among them. Mating takes place underground and involves the male mounting the female from behind while she is on her side.[22] The gestation period of the wombat lasts 22 days and most births occur in October. When a young is born, it climbs into the pouch and clings to a teat. It stays in the pouch for six months growing to around 0.45 kg, with a light pelage and open eyes.[13] It soon leaves the pouch and starts grazing at the surface. The young is fully weaned when it is a year old and reaches full size at the age of three years,[13] which is also when it becomes sexually mature.[8]

The microbiology of the wombat pouch has recently been investigated using molecular approaches.[25] This study found that the diversity and composition of microbes in the pouch correlated to the reproductive status of the host. The diversity of microbes dropped drastically when pouch young were present, or when the mother was reproductively active. One interpretation of this result is that the wombat can filter which microbes are able to live in the pouch through the use of antimicrobial peptides and/or other means. This could be important for the health of the joey, as marsupials are born very early compared to placental mammals and thus lack an adaptive immune system. Further research is also underway to determine whether the pouch microbes that survive host filtering play beneficial roles for the protection and development of the wombat pouch young.

Communication

Southern hairy-nosed wombats use vocalisations and scents for communication. While most communication between wombats occurs through olfaction and scent-marking, as they do not often encounter each other directly,[8] they emit rough, coughing noises when they pass each other, and emit a more strident call for alarm.[9]

Conservation status

Illustration by Joseph Wolf (1865)

The southern hairy-nosed wombat was listed as Near Threatened by the IUCN in 2016, because "many subpopulations are now isolated and may be non-viable". It was previously listed as Least Concern because "While there are sporadic outbreaks of sarcoptic mange, competition with introduced herbivores, susceptibility to drought, and severe fragmentation in parts of its range, the species has a wide distribution, large population, occurs in a number of protected areas, and it is unlikely to be declining at nearly the rate required to qualify for listing in a threatened category".[2] Wombats were hunted by aboriginal people for their meat. However, capturing a wombat takes considerable time and energy, so they were not hunted too frequently.[26] The indigenous people of Australia value the wombat culturally and keep their local wombat populations healthy by hunting wombats in other areas.[26]

Wombats have been considered as agricultural pests by landholders.[27] Their digging can destroy crops and can increase the risk of livestock breaking their legs by falling through their burrow systems.[28] Competition between livestock, rabbits, and wombats can lead to overgrazing. Overgrazing and the spread of invasive weeds in some areas has led to the flora being dominated by annual grass and weed species, from which wombats cannot get enough of their metabolic needs, resulting in reports of emaciation and mass starvation.[8][29] The competition from introduced rabbits threatens the survival of wombats.[8]

Lasiorhinus latifrons ( Spanish; Castilian )

provided by wikipedia ES

El uómbat de hocico peludo del sur (Lasiorhinus latifrons) es una especie de marsupial diprotodonto de la familia Vombatidae que se encuentra en la Llanura de Nullarbor (Australia Meridional y sur de Australia Occidental), y en Nueva Gales del Sur. Es el animal estatal de Australia Meridional.[2]

Descripción

Mide entre 78 y 105 cm de longitud, con una cola de 5 cm. Pesa entre 15 y 35 kg. Los machos son más grandes. Su cabeza es relativamente grande y sus patas cortas y robustas; son plantígrados y tienen cinco dedos en cada pata delantera con garras en cada uno de ellos, que utilizan para cavar. En las patas traseras, el segundo y tercer dedo están fusionados como un dedo con dos garras.

El pelo es corto y suave de color gris o pardo jaspeado de negro, en el pecho es blancuzco; tienen pelo sobre la nariz y el hocico y notorias vibrisas. El hueso nasal es más largo que el frontal. Los dientes carecen de raíz y crecen continuamente y los incisivos son cortos, fuertes y cortantes. La hembra presenta marsupio.

Hábitat

Habita en bosques secos (mallees) y sabanas áridas o semiáridas y se alimenta de hierbas y raíces. Sus hábitos son nocturnos y solitarios. Durante el día se refugia en madrigueras que ha excavado.

Reproducción

Alcanzan la madurez sexual a los tres años. La reproducción depende de la germinación de hierbas, por lo que se ve afectada por la cantidad de lluvia del invierno. Si la sequía es extrema, las hierbas nativas no crecen, y los uómbats no crían. Cuando las hierbas comienzan a germinar, las hembras están listas para la reproducción. Los machos se tornan agresivos y se muerden entre sí. La hembra emite un llamado cuando es perseguida por los machos. El acoplamiento ocurre en las madrigueras, en las que sólo en la época de celo se ven grupos.

Una cría nace a los veintiún días de gestación y se traslada al marsupio donde permanece unos ocho meses tras los cuales sale aunque continúa la lactancia hasta que cumplen quince meses de edad.

Karvakuonovompatti ( Finnish )

provided by wikipedia FI

Karvakuonovompatti eli etelänkarvakuonovompatti (Lasiorhinus latifrons)[2][3] on yksi maailman kolmesta vompattilajista, ja muodostaa yhdessä pohjankarvakuonovompatin (Lasiorhinus krefftii) kanssa Lasiorhinus-suvun. Laji elää eteläisessä Australiassa, jossa se on silmälläpidettävä.

Koko ja ulkonäkö

Karvakuonovompatin ruumis on vahva ja hyvin kaivamiseen sopeutunut. Se painaa noin 20-30 kg. Ruumis on lähes metrin pituinen, jalat ovat lyhyet ja voimakkaat. Häntä on pieni ja usein eläimen tuuhean karvan peittämä.

Elintavat

Karvakuonovompatti on kasvinsyöjä. Se syö pääosin tuoretta ruohoa ja heinäkasveja. Kuivien kausien aikana se joutuu turvautumaan pienten pensaiden lehtiin ja varsiin sekä joissakin tapauksissa myös juuriin.

Karvakuonovompatit kaivavat laajoja tunneliverkostoja, joissa saattaa elää yhtä aikaa jopa kymmenen yksilöä. Ne pysyttelevät päivän kuumimman ajan tunneleissaan haihduttaakseen mahdollisimman vähän vettä.

Karvakuonovompatti saa poikasia kerran vuodessa, yleensä syyskuun ja joulukuun välisenä aikana, jos sadeolosuhteet ovat sopivat. Yleensä naaras synnyttää kerralla 1-2 poikasta. Poikaset syntyvät hyvin pienikokoisina, minkä jälkeen ne kehittyvät ja kasvavat emonsa pussissa. Karvakuonovompatit elävät luonnossa keskimäärin 14-vuotiaiksi.

Wombat à nez poilu du Sud ( French )

provided by wikipedia FR

Lasiorhinus latifrons

Le Wombat à nez poilu du Sud (Lasiorhinus latifrons) est l'une des trois espèces de wombats. On le trouve dans les zones de maquis épars et de mallees semi-arides de la partie orientale de la plaine de Nullarbor jusqu'à la frontière de la Nouvelle-Galles du Sud. C'est la plus petite des trois espèces de wombat. Les jeunes ne survivent pas souvent aux saisons sèches. C'est l'animal emblème de l'Australie-Méridionale[1].

Description

Le Wombat à nez poilu du Sud est un animal trapu et robuste adapté pour creuser. C'est un plantigrade porteur d'une longue griffe sur chacun de ses 5 doigts qu'il utilise pour creuser[2]. Il mesure de 77,2 à 93,4 cm avec un poids allant de 19 à 32 kg[2]. Les deuxième et troisième orteils sont soudés sur presque toute la longueur, en dehors de l'articulation terminale, formant un doigt à deux griffes qu'il utilise pour se toiletter[3],[4]. La tête est robuste, aplatie avec de longues oreilles pointues[5]. Ses incisives ressemblent à celles des rongeurs et ses molaires sont séparées entre elles par un intervalle libre[3]. Ses dents poussent toute la vie, peut-être une adaptation à son alimentation dure[2]. Par rapport au wombat commun, le wombat à nez poilu du Sud a un muscle temporal plus développé et un muscle masséter plus réduit[6]. Il se distingue du wombat à nez poilu du nord par son os nasal qui est plus long que l'os frontal[2]. La queue est courte et cachée habituellement dans la fourrure. Sa fourrure soyeuse va du gris au beige. Des poils doux, habituellement blancs, couvrent son rhinarium, d'où le nom de l'animal[2].

Lasiorhinus latifrons ( Galician )

provided by wikipedia gl Galician

Lasiorhinus latifrons é unha especie de mamífero marsupial da orde dos diprotodontes, suborde dos vombatiformes e familia dos vombátidos,[1] unha das dúas que integran na actualidade o xénero Lasiorhinus],[2] coñecido na bibliografía internacional como uombat de fociño peludo do sur.

Ao contrario que o seu conxénere, Lasiorhinus krefftii, que está ao bordo da extinción, o seu status actual é pouco preocupante.

Taxonomía

Descrición

A especie foi descrita en 1845 polo biólogo inglés Richard Owen en Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1845: 82.[1]

Etimoloxía

O nome do xénero, Lasiorhinus está formado polos elementos do latín científico lasio-, tirado do grego antigo λάσιος lásios, 'peludo' e -rhinus, derivado do grego antigo ῥίς ῥινός rhís, rhinós, 'nariz'. Literalmente: 'os do nariz peludo'.[3]

En canto ao nome específico, latifrons, está formado polos elementos do latín científico lati-, raíz do adxectivo latino lātus, -a, -um, 'ancho', e o termo latino frons, frontis, 'a fronte'. Literalmente: 'o de fronte ancha'.

Sinónimos

Segundo o Mammal Species of the World, a especie coñeceuse tamén polos sinónimos seguintes:[1]

  • Lasiorhinus lasiorhinus (Gould, 1863)
  • Lasiorhinus mcoyi Gray, 1863

Estado de conservación

O status do uombat de fociño peludo do sur, que está amplamente distribuído no sur de Australia do Sur, ao oeste do río Murray, e parcialmente distribuído nas penínsulas de Cabo York e de Eyre, e que tamén está presente na chaira de Nullarbor en Australia Occidental, e que ten dúas pequenas colonias en Nova Gales do Sur é cualificado pola UICN como LC (pouco preocupante), debido a que a súa área de dispersión expandiuse nos últimos 45 anos, e aínda que hai brotes esporádicos de sarna sarcóptica, que sofre a competencia dos herbívoros introducidos, é susceptíbel á seca, e a súa poboación está moi fragmentada en partes da súa área de dispersión, a especie ten una distribución ampla, a súa poboación é grande, encóntrase nun bo número de áreas protexidas, polo que non é probábel que a diminución dos seus efectivos alcance a velocidade necesaria como para cualificala nunha categoría ameazada.[4]

Il vombato dal naso peloso meridionale (Lasiorhinus latifrons Owen, 1845) è una delle tre specie di vombato. È diffuso in modo discontinuo nelle boscaglie semi-aride e nel mallee della regione che si estende dal Nullarbor Plain orientale fino al confine con il Nuovo Galles del Sud. Con i suoi 775-935 mm di lunghezza e un peso di 20-32 kg, è la più piccola specie di vombato e spesso gli esemplari giovani non riescono a superare la stagione secca.

Lasiorhinus latifrons

Le autorità locali lo ritengono una specie vulnerabile: una popolazione in piena salute sopravvive ancora, ma sembra stia invecchiando; si sospetta che la scarsità delle piogge degli ultimi anni abbia impedito a questo animale di riprodursi con successo. Il vombato dal naso peloso meridionale necessita infatti di tre buone stagioni consecutive per raggiungere l'età adulta. Gli specialisti in materia di vombati temono che un probabile inaridimento dell'Australia meridionale possa costituire in futuro un serio rischio per la sopravvivenza di questa specie.

Simbologia

Dal 27 agosto 1970 il vombato dal naso peloso meridionale è il mammifero emblema dello Stato dell'Australia Meridionale[3][4].

Zuidelijke breedneuswombat ( Dutch; Flemish )

provided by wikipedia NL

De zuidelijke breedneuswombat (Lasiorhinus latifrons) is een Australisch buideldier uit de familie wombats (Vombatidae). Het is de kleinste wombatsoort.

Kenmerken

De plompe breedneuswombat heeft korte poten, lange oren en een lange, zijdeachtige, bruin en grijs gemarmerde vacht. De lichaamslengte bedraagt tussen de 77 en 95 cm, met een 3 tot 6 cm lange staart. Het gewicht ligt tussen de 19 en 32 kg.

Leefwijze

Dit herbivore nachtdier leeft in ondergrondse burchten in kolonies van 5 tot 10 dieren. Deze burchten hebben dikwijls een oppervlakte van honderden vierkante meters. Het voedsel bestaat uit gras en andere lage vegetatie. Soortgenoten die niet worden herkend, worden niet geaccepteerd en door de mannetjes verjaagd, uitgezonderd als het paringsbereide vrouwtjes zijn.

Verspreiding

Voor de komst van de moderne mens in de achttiende eeuw was de zuidelijke breedneuswombat wijdverspreid over de open gebieden van zuidelijke Australië zoals woestijnen, scrublands en savannes. Door de introductie van konijnen en schapen kreeg dit buideldier er sterke concurrentie bij en verdween hierdoor uit een groot gedeelte van zijn oorspronkelijke verspreidingsgebied. Tegenwoordig komt de zuidelijke breedneuswombat nog voor in delen van de Nullarborvlakte, een groot woestijngebied direct ten noorden van de Grote Australische Bocht, en geïsoleerde gebieden in het zuidoosten van Zuid-Australië. Het recente droger geworden klimaat in Zuid-Australië kan een bedreiging gaan vormen voor de zuidelijke breedneuswombat, aangezien dit nadelig is voor een succesvolle voortplanting. In een droger klimaat zullen minder jongen de volwassen leeftijd halen.

Wombatowiec szerokogłowy ( Polish )

provided by wikipedia POL
Commons Multimedia w Wikimedia Commons

Wombatowiec szerokogłowy[4], wombat szerokogłowy[5] (Lasiorhinus latifrons) – gatunek ssaka z rodziny wombatowatych (Vombatidae) podobny z wyglądu do małego niedźwiedzia, nazywany lokalnie buszowym spychaczem z powodu masywnej budowy i zdolności do szybkiego biegu. Przez tubylców jest poławiany dla futra.

Zasięg występowania

Południowo-wschodnia i południowa Australia. Występuje na terenach półpustynnych, stepach, sawannach, w lasach i zaroślach.

Budowa zewnętrzna

Wombatowiec szerokogłowy jest zwierzęciem o masywnej, krępej budowie, potężnie zbudowanych kończynach przednich z masywnymi stopami zakończonymi mocnymi, długimi pazurami. Długość jego ciała wynosi 84–111 cm, ogona 2,5–6 cm, a masa ciała 17,5–36 kg[6]. Nogi wombata są krótkie, grzbiet ma szary lub czarnobrązowy, białe policzki, kark i pierś. Torba lęgowa samic otwiera się ku tyłowi.

Tryb życia

Jest zwierzęciem stadnym, tworzy duże kolonie. Silnymi pazurami kopie nory, w których spędza gorącą porę dnia. Nory tworzą często system korytarzy z kilkoma wejściami, korytarzami bocznymi i komorami sypialnymi. W odróżnieniu od wombata tasmańskiego, który przebywa w norze samotnie, wombaty szerokogłowe odpoczywają gromadnie: w norze może przebywać do dziesięciu osobników. Prowadzą nocny tryb życia. Spożywają głównie pokarm roślinny, zwłaszcza rośliny z rodzaju Maireana z rodziny szarłatowatych i komosa, także korzenie.

Rozród

Samce w okresie godowymagresywne, dochodzi między nimi do potyczek. Samica rodzi jedno młode, które przebywa w torbie lęgowej przez 6–7 miesięcy. Młode osiągają dojrzałość płciową około trzeciego roku życia. W warunkach naturalnych wombaty szerokogłowe żyją ponad piętnaście lat.

Zagrożenia i ochrona

Pomimo narastającej konkurencji o zasoby pokarmowe (hodowle bydła, króliki) populacje wombata szerokogłowego są liczne, gatunek jest szeroko rozprzestrzeniony, występuje na wielu obszarach chronionych. Obecnie nie jest zagrożony wyginięciem.

Sydlig hårnosvombat ( Swedish )

provided by wikipedia SV

Sydlig hårnosvombat (Lasiorhinus latifrons) är ett pungdjur i familjen vombater (Vombatidae).

Utseende

Med en längd (huvud och bål) av 75 till 95 cm och en vikt av 19 till 32 kg är denna art den minsta i familjen vombater. Svanslängden är bara 2,5 till 6 cm.[2] Som alla vombater kännetecknas den av en björnliknande kroppsbyggnad. Extremiteterna är korta och kraftiga och försedda med klor som gör det lättare att gräva.[2] Huvudet är stort och brett och ögonen är små. Öronen är däremot långa och slutar i en spets. I motsats till de andra arterna i familjen är pälsen mjuk och silkeslen. Pälsens färg är grå eller gråbrun, med röda skuggor.[2]

Utbredning

Levnadsområdet ligger i regioner där nederbördsmängden är mindre än avdunstningen. Arten förekommer i södra och sydöstra Australien, till exempel i Nullarboröknen.[1] I delstaten New South Wales finns endast två mindre populationer.[1]

Ekologi

Sydlig hårnosvombats habitat utgörs av torra gräsmarker, öppna skogar och buskskogar.[3] Marken ska vara tillräcklig fast för att möjliggöra byggandet av en jordhåla. Arten är nattaktiv och vilar under dagen i sina lyor där klimatet är kallare och fuktigare än den heta ytterklimatet. Under dessa vilopauser sänks kroppens temperatur och ämnesomsättning för att spara energi och vatten.

Denna art är mer social än nakennosvombaten. Ibland lever 5 till 10 individer av olika kön i samma tunnelsystem.[2] Tunnelsystemet har flera ingångar och flera kamrar som fodras med löv. Gångarna kan vara upp till 30 meter långa och ligga upp till 2 meter under markytan.[2]

På natten letar dessa djur efter föda som består huvudsaklig av gräs (särskild fjädergräs), örter, rötter och bark.[3] Som vattenkälla tjänstgör den fasta födan, regn och dagg. Det finns inga uppgifter om individer som dricker från vattendrag.

Fortplantning

Fortplantningen är anpassad till vegetationsperioden. Vanligtvis föds ett ungdjur mellan september och november. Dräktigheten varar i 20 till 22 dagar och ungdjuret tillbringar sex till nio månader i moderns pung. Efter ungefär ett år slutar honan att ge di och efter två eller tre år är ungarna könsmogna.[3] De flesta ungar dör under sina första år. Det antas att ungar av sydlig hårnosvombat behöver tre år med bra tillgång till föda för att överleva.[2] Däremot är medellivslängden jämförelsevis hög. Individer i fångenskap blev upp till 24 år gamla och i naturen når de uppskattningsvis 15 års ålder.[2]

Hot och status

Artens utbredningsområde minskade efter att europeiska invandrare kom till Australien men inte så mycket som för arten nordlig hårnosvombat. Hotet består av omvandlingen av deras territorium till betesmark, konkurrensen med inte infödda djurarter och ibland även jakt. I vissa regioner dödas många individer av hardjurs skabb som arten fick av introducerade kaniner.[1] De blev jagade på grund av pälsen och för att de ibland förstör stängsel när de gräver. Utbredningsområdet är delat i flera skilda avsnitt men trots allt är beståndet jämförelsevis stort. Populationen i Nullarboröknen och angränsande slättland uppskattas till 50 000 till 100 000 individer. IUCN listar arten som livskraftig (LC).[1]

毛鼻袋熊學名Lasiorhinus latifrons),又名南澳毛吻袋熊,是袋熊的一種。牠們分佈在澳洲納拉伯平原(Nullarbor Plain)至新南威爾士邊境的半乾旱叢林及小桉樹叢。牠們體型細小,只長77.5-93.5厘米及重20-32公斤,尾巴長2.5-6厘米。

當地政府將毛鼻袋熊列為易危,而世界自然保護聯盟則列牠們為無危[2]由於幼熊很難在乾旱季節生存,近年雨量的減少正威脅著牠們及其繁殖。專家認為現時的氣候轉變可能會對牠們造成更大的威脅。
