This map shows the distribution of all three wombat species on a single image.
Showing all 3 distributions, historically to reasonably current:

Southern Hairy-nosed Wombats (Lasiorhinus latifrons)

  • Mid-nineteenth Century distribution
  • Mid-twentieth Century distribution
  • Early Twenty first Century distribution

Northern Hairy-nosed Wombats (Lasiorhinus krefftii)

  • Mid-nineteenth Century distribution
  • Early Twenty first Century distribution

Bare-nosed Wombats (Vombatus ursinus)

  • Mid-nineteenth Century distribution
  • Early Twenty first Century distribution

The time variance for the Southern Hairy-nosed wombat distribution could be determined a bit more accurately thanks to the hard work of our researcher friend.

As the 15 previous pages show,  there is a LOT of information behind this map, and it really shouldn’t be used without some explanation of what it shows as you can see on the previous pages.

Our researcher has saved this map on Google Earth, so it is relatively straight forward to make changes if needed and he is willing to do so if new information comes to light.

If this is the first page about Australian wombat distribution you have seen on our website, please go back to the starting page and review the extensive research content involved.
