Behaviour
The northern hairy-nosed wombat is nocturnal, and has been known to share burrows. Its diet is made up of coarse grass and various types of roots. Its habitat has become infested with African buffel grass, which out-competes the native grasses the wombat prefers to feed on. One young can be born, often during the wet season. It stays in the pouch for 6-9 months, leaving its mother after a year.

Famous quotes containing the word behaviour:
“I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“The quality of moral behaviour varies in inverse ratio to the number of human beings involved.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“... into the novel goes such taste as I have for rational behaviour and social portraiture. The short story, as I see it to be, allows for what is crazy about humanity: obstinacies, inordinate heroisms, “immortal longings.””
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
