Short-legged Australian creature (6)

I believe the answer is:

wombat

(Other definitions for wombat that I've seen before include "Australian resident" , "Australian burrowing marsupial" , "Bear-like marsupial" , "Marsupial of Oz" , "Tailless marsupial down under" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
