The Hairy nosed Wombat has a nose covered with soft, short fur which is usually white or brown.The nose itself is soft and some what like a pigs. The fur on the body is fine and silky and much softer than the common wombats',and has a well developed underfur.

One obvious feature of the hairy nosed wombat is it's hairy nose! No one knows exactly why the nose is hairy, but scientists think that the hairs' purpose in life is to stop bugs and rocks from getting stuck in its' oversized nostrels. The reason they don't want rocks in their nose is so that it can breath. you also may ask, why is the rest of the wombat hairy? Because it can become very cold in the nights of austrilia, and that's how they stay warm.
