Phascolonus (SciiFii)

The big-nosed wombat (Phascolonus gigas) is a species of wombat and is the only living member of the genus Phascolonus. The big-nosed wombat originally lived in the Australian forests, open woodlands, and grasslands during the Pliocene and the Pleistocene, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced back to the Australian forests, open woodlands, and grasslands to help boost biodiversity. It is the largest member of the wombat family, growing on average of around 6 feet (1.5 meters) long, 3.5 feet (1 meter) tall, and weigh as much as 200 kg (450 lb). Due to its much larger size, it doesn't burrow as often as its much smaller relatives, however, due to the presence of predators such as thyacines, it still makes shallow, yet large burrows for safety from any carnivores. It is a herbivore and feeds on the same kind of food as its relatives such as common wombats. The big-nosed wombat is a solitary animal that lives in most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the big-nosed wombat is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the big-nosed wombats' wide natural range, and its tolerance to most of the human activities.
