What does WOMBAT mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A stocky, short-legged Australian marsupial that digs burrows and eats plants.
A wombat is built low to the ground, with a broad body and strong legs suited to digging, and it spends much of the day underground before coming out to graze. People often compare its general shape to that of a small bear, though it is not related to bears at all. The word is most familiar from nature writing, zoo signs and children's books about Australian wildlife. Because it names a particular kind of animal, it tends to appear in factual descriptions and in playful comparisons for something round and sturdy.
