Just in time for Wombat Wednesday, Murray C. shares a story of a baby wombat who bounced back from tragedy. Little Jack lost his mum in a car accident in which he was badly injured. Rescuers from ACT Wildlife took him in, fixed him right up, and even introduced him to a new friend, and now Jack is healthy, happy, and loves to chew eyeglasses, as Nature intended.
More video below.
That video was not nearly long enough.
I know. Maybe there will be a follow up. Hope, hope.
I’m little wombat jack’s foster mum. He is doing well, almost 2 kg. For more videos on his progress go to http://www.actwildlife.net
Jack will be bottle fed for another year then weaned and dehumanised then released back in the wild when he’s almost 2 years old and weighing about 18 kg.
Thanks for your interest and your kind words.
Wow, thank you for letting us know! This is great news.
Thank heaven for people like you, Lindy. Give the little guy a big hug and a scritch from all of us.
I found another video of Jack getting scritches, and I’ve added it to the post above.
Jibbers Crabst, that’s adorable.
I still want more, Mike. There’s not enough wombat in the world to keep me happy.
I just want to wrap that sweet, recuperating leetle wombat, in a blankie and hug him close. Glad Little Jack was saved, found a friend and is going to be okay.
Good on ya, Lindy!
What a precious sweetie he is. That baby fur!
His little fists! OMG. Ded.
Give a wombat a skritch and a stick to chew on… and he will melt the world.
Is that a wombat or a beaver? Too much.
Oh look at that little back leg go !!
Yes, that little back leg kicking like mad got me too!!
I must skritch the smooth tummy of a bebeh wombat! Gah! Mind-numbingly cute. Many smooches to him?.
So sorry this little one list his mama but so glad he is receiving loving care! P.S. After more than 20 years, I still miss my Mom!
NTMTOM: I have an alert for you: when I click on the button to view the vid, I get a TMZ promo ad for Melissa McCarthy, and cannot get thru to see wombat pics! Very frustrating! Hmph!
Are you using a mobile device? Thanks for letting me know.
Me too.
Okay…that is just WRONG on soooo many levels!?
Had to come back and watch these vids again before work! Why is there not a 24hr. BebehWombat cam?
