Research suggests that without a moist nose pad, southern hairy-nosed wombats may depend more heavily on whiskers for navigation than bare-nosed wombats. #OpenAccess in Australian Mammalogy: doi.org/10.1071/AM25... @womsat.bsky.social #AusMammalogy #WorldWildlifeDay 5/8

A portrait of a Southern hairy-nosed wombat, with nose and many long whiskers prominently visible. The photo is credited as being by David Clode, Unsplash. A caption tells us: "Recent research suggests that without a moist nose pad, southern hairy-nosed wombats may depend more heavily on whiskers for navigation than bare-nosed wombats, which could be why their whiskers are so long and thick."
