Wombats have few natural predators. The wombat's main predator is the dingo, but introduced species like dogs, cats and foxes can also hunt them for food. Young wombats which are still vulnerable and only just emerging from the pouch may be taken by Birds of Prey such as wedge-tailed eagles.

In Tasmania, Australia's southern state, Tasmanian devils will prey on smaller wombats, and they have been known to feed off the carcass of a wombat.

Aborigines also hunted wombats for food.

Wombats are herbivorous, feeding on grasses and sedges. They have predators, but they do not have prey.
