The animal on the cover of Essential SharePoint is a wombat. Averaging about 40 inches in length and weighing about 55 pounds, this Australian marsupial is the largest of the burrowing animals; as such, it is compared to the badger, but it is most closely related to the koala. Because wombats walk with an awkward waddle, they appear to be docile and slow, but are actually quite alert and agileâwhen necessary, they can move over short distances with the speed of an Olympic sprinter. Although wombats are not particularly territorial, they do prefer solitude, so are known to mark their often-overlapping feeding grounds by rubbing trees, sometimes to a polished appearance, and to leave their distinctive cube-shaped dung atop elevated items such as rocks, mushrooms, and even upright sticks.
