An American influencer who caused outrage by snatching a baby wombat from its mother has left Australia - amid concerns the "disorientated" marsupial may not have refound its parent.
Sam Jones, who describes herself as an "outdoor enthusiast and hunter", left the country on Friday after the Australian government said it was reviewing her visa.
In a now-deleted video to her 92,000 followers on Instagram, recorded at an unknown location, Jones says: "I caught a baby wombat" as a man filming her laughs.
She returns the animal to the roadside after several seconds.
