Likewise the pelvis, femur, tibia, fibula and epi pubic bones from the hairy-nosed wombat (L. latifrons) and common wombat (V. ursinus} all have specific characteristic differences. To facilitate rapid specimen identification at the generic level, the different gross morphological features are summarised…
