The American influencer who pulls a baby mother of his distressed mother said that thousands threatened her life, and that she was “truly sorry” in an Instagram post.
Sam Jones, who describes herself as an ‘outside enthusiast and hunter’, wrote a long statement on social media and said she was ‘extremely concerned’ about the Hombat’s health, and so she ran away from the Joey’s mother for fear of attack.
She says she “returned” it to his mother immediately.
“I thought a lot about this situation and realized that I didn’t handle this situation as well as I should have (…) I learned from this situation, and am sorry for the need I caused.”
In the narrowly deleted video posted to her 92,000 followers on Instagram, Jones said, ‘I caught a baby-woman,’ while a man filmed her laughter.

In the video, the Wombat could struggle and hear sizzling as his mother followed on the road.
She returned the baby Wombat to the road after a few seconds.
Jones left the country on Friday after the Australian government said he was reviewing her visa.
Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanian has criticized the influencer, who has provoked outrage across the country, and told reporters: “Taking a baby mother of his mother and causing the mother clearly is just an outrage.
“And you know, I set this so -called influencer, maybe she may be trying other Australian animals.
‘Take a baby crocodile from his mother and see how you go there.
“Take another animal that can actually fight back, rather than stealing a baby’s mother from his mother – see how you go there.”

The country’s Home Secretary Tony Burke said on Thursday that his department was reviewing the conditions of the American’s visa – and whether she had violated the immigration law.
The Baby Wombat is a protected species of marsupial that is only found in Australia.
“Given the level of inquiry what will happen if she ever applies for a visa again, I would be surprised if she even bothered,” says Mr. Burke.
“I can’t wait for Australia to see the back of this individual. I don’t expect her to return. ‘
