Very few words starting with W in Spanish & the ones that they have are from foreign origin. I find 12 in my dictionary & no animals, so you did better than I. All words that you have are native origin.

The dictionary here at the site does not give "wombat" as the translation for "wombat" (in English), but rather:

wombat

wombat [vom-bat] sustantivo1. Fascolomis, mamífero nocturno de los marsupiales de Australia.

Wobats (sometimes spelled Vombats), Walabí and Canguro Antilope (sometimes Kanguro Antilope)... Although the names exist, its just like Motley said, these are foreign words to Spanish.
