Sam Jones, a US influencer who briefly snatched a baby wombat from its distressed mother, and uploaded the footage to social media has left Australia.

An American influencer has left Australia after the government announced it was reviewing her visa over a video she posted of her snatching a baby wombat from its mother.

A video of the online influencer snatching the joey from the side of its mother drew calls for her to be deported. She left the country Friday.
