That one on the first Picture is the most adorable Tree Kangaroo I've ever seen.

Dearest Eltanin Casciani and Francesca Falcini, thank you so much for helping to facilitate the additions of our new friends the capybaras into Planet Zoo. They have been nothing short of delightful! I must now take it upon myself to ask that you please help us reunite with another scorned friend. This friend, like the capybara, was regrettably left behind when their home continent was visited so long ago, and they have been patiently waiting to reunite with us. And that, of course, is the wombat! Please, help us find our friends!

Jokes on you pal! You will have cube-poop littering your zoo and you will like it!Hard no. Wombats are completely imaginary. I've been to Planckendael 5 times in the past few years and every single time their so-called Wombat exhibit was completely empty. Even the cube poop is a dead give-away that it's imaginary.
I don't want imaginary animals in the game.
Ok, sorry for this, but for some reason I'm now picturing people using the wombat cube poop as ice cubes
(Sigh) ...yeah I didn't need to read that...
Ok, this made me laugh
It's a spooky pack, full of imaginary things!
I'm hijacking this thread so I don't have to create new one just for one question.
I can see that Wombat habitat extends to mountains in Australia. What I wonder is how high they go? As in - how well would they tolerate cold environment in an open habitat?
I'm planning new zoo in cold region, with animals from NA, EU and Northern Asia. Australian animals were logically missing from planned roster, but I'm interested in if Wombat could be an exception?

I'm no expert in wombat temperatures so Google is my friend again. The picture definitely means the wombat can stand normal temperate temperatures and summer Taiga temperatures however will need warmth in the winter when it reaches sub 15c. Not entirely sure if the hairy nosed is different from the bare nosed but gives an idea of the suitable biomes
Common wombats are able to live at higher altitudes than most other Australian mammals, including some of the few areas of Australia that are covered in snow for months on end during the winter (such as the Australian Alps). They do not hibernate and remain active right through the coolest months, so they're pretty cold tolerant.
Hairy-nosed wombats live in warmer semi-arid habitats, so they're less well suited to cold conditions.
This will definitely do!Common wombats are able to live at higher altitudes than most other Australian mammals, including some of the few areas of Australia that are covered in snow for months on end during the winter (such as the Australian Alps).

And snow pictures nail it.
Thanks man, this why I asked it here, easier to get first hand information
For in-game animals, common wombats (and platypus) can both be found in cold places - in central Tasmania mean daytime max temperatures in winter get down to about 5 degrees and min temps sometimes get down to -14 or so and they live there no problem.
Edit: btw, -14 is the record, not what happens all the time and I’m sure they go and hide in their burrows if it gets that cold.

The only time I saw an active wombat was in a snow covered enclosure in minus degrees in Copenhagen.
