D. Muscular legs and shoulders
Muscular legs and shoulders would likely be the characteristic most related to escaping predators, as they would provide the wombat with the strength and speed needed to run quickly and evade threats.
This wombat is a small, pouched mammal that lives in Australia. Wombats eat grass at night. They live in burrows and can run very fast. A female's pouch has milk glands to feed its babies. When a female is ready to mate, she releases a scent that male wombats can detect.
