Wombat Life Cycle
Wombats usually give birth to a single young, but twins do occur.
The gestation period for a wombat is 20 to 22 days. At birth, the baby wombat, called a joey, is extremely small and undeveloped. It will weigh approximately 2 grams, less than one-tenth of an ounce, and be about the size of a jelly bean, 2 cm (0.75 inches) long. The joey is hairless with very thin skin and is unable to keep itself warm. They're blind and their ears do not function, but they have a large mouth and tongue, and a well-developed sense of smell.
As soon as it is born, the baby wombat will crawl into its mother's pouch and attach itself to one of the mother's teats. The teat will swell up in the joey's mouth which keeps the joey attached to the teat and helps to prevent the joey from falling out of the backwards-opening pouch.
The joey will remain in the pouch nursing and developing for 4 to 10 months, usually averaging about 8 months. At first the young wombat will leave the pouch for only short periods. When disturbed or frightened, it will return to the mother's pouch for safety. After one to three months, the wombat will no longer use the pouch but may still hide under or behind its mother for protection.
