Wombats have been allowing other endangered animals into their homes as they flee fire-torn bushland. Animals have survived the bushfires by fleeing into underground tunnels set up by wombats. The tunnels have become a refuge for species like wallabies and echidnas, as they shelter from the fires.
Documentary filmmaker Peter Hylands has been visiting the firegrounds of the devastated Cobargo Wildlife Sanctuary. Mr Hylands told Yahoo the landscape is almost completely burnt and the devastation to the local wildlife is incredible. But he said he believes some survivors managed to escape because of the ground work put in by wombats.
'You've got animals that are completely unscathed and those must be the animals that have been under the ground, it's the only explanation when the fire zones are so extensive,' Mr Hylands said.
'There are quite a few wombats in that region, and there's quite an extensive network of burrows.
What was particularly amazing is it's clearly not only wombats who are using those burrows in the firestorm,' he said.
