There are grasses that are not eaten very often, including the Weeping Grass and Reed Bent Grass. Grassy creek and river banks are popular feeding areas at all times, but a wombat rarely drinks from the stream or any other free water, except on dry summer days, when all or most of the grass has yellowed and lost most of its moisture. When the wombat drinks, it makes a little sound and it can drink nearly a litre, without stopping, in 3-4 minutes. The wombat is a predator to some animals and is a prey to others. Dingo, wild dogs, and foxes sometimes take up wombat burrows, but they are disliked by wombats.
Wombats have a well known way to get rid off intruders, they usually crush their skull.
Foxes and wild dogs are most likely to get their skulls crushed. Adult wombats are angry when predators come near their burrows and they will fight the predator off. The best physical features of the wombat is its claws. It digs in a unique way. The wombat first makes five to seven swipes with one of its claws, then changes to the other for another series of swipes.
