The term 'Badgerlike Marsupial' refers to the WOMBAT, a six-letter marsupial native to Australia and New Zealand. The WOMBAT is a burrowing animal that is closely related to the Badger, hence its name. It is a stocky, muscular animal with short legs and a large head. Its fur is usually gray or brown in color and it has a pouch on its stomach for carrying its young. The WOMBAT is a nocturnal animal and spends most of its time underground, where it feeds on roots, bark, and other vegetation.
