I always wonder the same thing, I think it would soak into the ground before it starts filling up. I'm sure the soil in the burrow would be softer and more water absorbent compared to the top soil.
The Hairy Nosed wombat relies on grass for food. This food source has led to their demise, as they are competing with livestock which is fine during times of feast, but when there is a famine due to drought or a bushfire, the Hairy Nosed Wombat loses out because livestock eat the remaining grass. If anyone takes a look at a satellite photo of any part of Australia in non desert areas, the majority is farmland.
Thanks ABC
How do they keep the rain from flooding their burrows, please?
