    a friend in Adelaide knew people who fostered a wombat...eventually released to the wild in the bush around their property...huge now, he comes back now and again and bashes through the screen door, lumbers down the hall and dives onto the bed(nocturnal creatures) all smelly and damp usually...but loved regardless

    I don’t know why, but that little buddy is just way cool. I would love to have one running around. People may recall a movie starring a Russell Crowe called “ Captain And Commander - Far Side Of The World”. He was the captain of an 1800’s British sailing ship. The book was written as part of a series featuring the captain in each book. In a couple of the books the ships doctor brought one of these creatures on board and although the crew loved it, the little bugger was constantly chewing the captains uniform and anything else it could get. It was hilarious.

    • @Mythraen
      @Mythraen 4 года назад +4

      As they note in the video, they're basically treating the baby as the mother would. First they stay in the "den" for a while, then gradually introduce the wombat to the outside world.
      There's nothing "captive" about this environment that is different from the environment it would have grown up in, except that mom is a human, and the "den" is a house.
      I don't see how having seen the inside of a house is going to significantly affect the wombat's life.

    I'm a bit worried about this fostering because wombats are nocturnal and get picked off by predators during the day. I think the foster mum should be encouraging the little wombat to sleep during the day hours and be active during the night, and definitely bringing her outside during daylight hours????

    Interesting series of videos. But I can't help cringing at how much human contact all these animals are experiencing. I'm currently volunteering in France at a wildlife rescue centre and am the person responsible for bottle feeding baby mammals, and we are very strict about trying to minimise how much we handle the animals as much as possible so that they don't get used to human contact. As in these videos we have one person who looks after the animal - always the same so that the animal can have an emotional connection without getting used to people in general, but we also are very strict about minimising talking and definitely NOT STROKING THEM!! Especially as often stroking is anthropomorphic and it could potentially stress the animal more than reassure it. So I have to admit when I see the presenter talking to and stroking the animals it doesn't sit quite right with me - yeah it's cute but if the goal is to release them into the wild surely they need to understand that humans are a potential threat. But of course different places have different ways of doing things so I just thought I'd share my personal experience. (Also I'm kinda surprised they're not wearing latex gloves or something similar - for their own health as much as the animals).

    • @marcosmota1094
      @marcosmota1094 5 лет назад +2

      In Australia, they do "soft" release. Apparently, it is safer for the wombats. In the wild, they know to freeze when humans come around. Basically, they are really stubborn, so unless they want to be around you, they won't just approach strangers.
