I’m Australian and I live in a big city (Sydney) but I spent the first 18 years of my life in rural Australia and we had wombats (and kangaroos, koalas, birds) that would come into our yard because behind our home was forest. Wombats are usually shy and not aggressive, some will want attention or food (it gets very hot and they love bowls of cold water) or are just curious about their surroundings. Some will come right up to you, others will run away: they’re like cats that way. If you’re patient with shy ones and don’t chase after them, they will eventually see that you’re not a threat and let you pet and hold them. You just need to keep in mind that they’re burrowing mammals, they will dig holes. You can let them inside your home, but legally they can’t be kept as indoor pets because they require the outside as their natural habitat. They also have sharp teeth and claws, although you’d have to be doing something mean or really scary to them for them to bite or scratch hard enough to draw blood. I’ve never been bit or scratched by one, and I don’t know or anyone who has, but it can happen. The little girl in this video is proof of how gentle they are when you’re kind to them. Kangaroos are usually friendly and fun, but if you’re mean or aggressive they can kick you HARD or swat you with their strong and thick tail. What you do need to avoid in Australia is the snakes, the majority of which are poisonous, but it’s not like they’re everywhere all the time. I’ve lived in Sydney for 17 years and the only snakes I’ve seen were at the zoos.
@@Mike-rk8px Cool, man. I really appreciate the info about wombats and yes, Australian wildlife aint to be taken lightly. I heard it's common to have a lock on your toilet lid in some areas - pretty much says it all 😅
@Mike-rk8px I'm from Adelaide. I see snakes on my local beach fairly regularly. Eastern browns. As for wombats I went to Maria Island in Tasmania and I was told by a ranger that tourists try to pick up baby wombats for selfies and their mothers will rip you up to defend their young. The other thing she said was that they are incredibly aggressive to the Tasmanian devils. Apparently, the devils use unused old wombat burrows but when they get it wrong and try to occupy an active burrow, the wombat uses the hard plate in their butt to crush the devil against the walls of the burrow. Quite a few devils died this way. Long story short, they are lovely as long as they're respected.
These videos always fills my heart with utter joy and happiness. Not just because i am an ‘environment and wildlife activist’ but as a ‘human being’. These kind of people and their love towards animals are the only hope of saving this dying planet. 👍🙏🏻❤
I couldn't imagine a more wonderful life for a young girl growing up as Ashley has. Fun and games with her little friends, but also taking responsibility.
kids still play outside in the mud like normal kids did back before tech stole childhood from young people! nice to see. wombats have to be one of my favorite animals on the planet.
Eimbats ate the best freinds there can be. They helped to save the koalas when that last terrible forest fire hit Australia. Wimbats to the rescue. Love these babies.🥰🥰🥰☺️💕
This is such a great story!! What a lovely child, a wonderful Dad and an adorable little stormy. The Dad is awesome letting his daughter take care of this precious baby correctly. She's giving stormy so much love. May they all live a long and incredibly happy life together! Thank you Cuddle Buddies for putting the wildlife care disclaimer at the end of the video. Good on ya! 🥰👏🏼🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thank you for watching our video! That's why we share these stories🙌 To make people more compassionate to animals. If a little girl can do it, so can we❤
This is how me were raised as kids! Playing outside and getting properly dirty, and what better way than to do this with your fury best friend!!!❤❤❤ You go Stormy and Ashley! 😊😊😊 Brings a tear to my eye...
Greetings from Arizona 🐝 what a lovely lovely little girl and her furry little sister! This world needs the smiles and happyness, the simple joys like you and your family live 😘
Oh, my goodness...every time I see something that's the "cutest thing ever", something else comes along and tops it! That is, so far, the cutest thing ever!! ❤❤❤
Stormy The Wombat and this cute little angel!! Their Friendship Reminds Me Of Thelma And Louise!! And Their Dance Moves Are Priceless!! Just Awesome!!😊
Hey, thank you so much for sharing this amazing story! It's very sweet. And a BIG ty that adopting wild/exotic animals is better left to the pros!! Respect!
OMG Wombats are my favorite!! 🥰 What a beautiful rescue story!! So sweet. If I could just have wombats and donkeys in my life.... What a wonderful world it would be 💖😄 I can't, but grateful to this channel for sharing their cuteness with us all, and all the heartwarming videos and inspiring rescue stories... Much love 💞😊
This is fantastic. Such a wildly wonderful difference from what I witnessed today in Alabama(?!) when a kid asked if another kid had permission to climb on some rocks. Permission? WTF? Kids? Rocks? Who are that boy's parents? Where is that boy's father? Thank you for restoring my faith in modern parents -- you, specifically.
Oh my goodness I think this is special. This is just precious. Adorable I love this. This little girl loves it. New pet of hers. Their best buddies. This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I think it’s so sweet.🥰🥰💕
So adorable. God bless these two. It is awesome to rise the little ones with nature as much as possible so they can respect the other species we share our amazing planet with.
I think it’s very important that kid have pets.❤ It gives them responsibility, good communication skill, education and they learn about unconditional ❤.
If you had a hard day, hopefully Ashley and Stormy made it better🥰
And it definitely did!!! ❤❤❤
They sure did brighten up my day! Thanks for sharing this heartwarming friendship with us! 💯☝️😘💓🫶
I did, and they did. This is what love looks like. So very precious, and so rare.❤
Oh they certainly did, thank you 💖 such kindness and love x bless them, and bless you x
no not so much. just makes me sad that my life is so boring and worthless
💞I love that Dad lets the 'kids' play out in the muddy water together💞
why not ??? that is were we have washing machines for
You probably shouldn't put children or marsupials in a washing machine.
Much better than stuck in front of an iPad all day or the tv
@@chrispoel316- We have a brain-eating amoeba that lives in water like that in the American South.
Gotta get dirty to stay healthy in the long run.😊
Okay. This is def. a childrens story book waiting to be published🥰
Yeah…it would definitely be a good story book!!
Uve got that right ! ❤
We'll give Josh an idea😉
A child's story about how "species" doesn't change what love can conquer! Absolutely brilliant idea! 🙏👍✌️
Shout outs to this bloke for lookin after our wildlife & raising his daughter with lots of love & kindness.Good onya mate👍🏼
I'll second that sentiment! ❤
And I’ll 3rd that notion!!! I would’ve loved growing up that way. Such a wonderful loving daddy he is!
Why you gotta call him a bloke though?
@@BlairWitch138 it's informal way of saying normal guy.
I think they recognize they are both children, so their friendship was inevitable. They are so fortunate in each other.
Now that baby girl is raised right by great parents..she'll grow up to b a compassionate person ❤❤❤❤
Ashley will grow up to do more great things! What fantastic parents she has!!! ❤❤❤
This is so adorable. What a special way for a child to grow up!
I didn't know wombats were so cuddly and affectionate. Adorable 😊

Wombats need to burrow
Neither did I. So lovely.

That kid is gonna grow up to have the greatest friend ever knowing how Wombats live long.

We need more people like Josh for sure! Thank you for watching our video❤
You’re right on all counts ❤
I couldn't imagine a more wonderful life for a young girl growing up as Ashley has. Fun and games with her little friends, but also taking responsibility.
We agree! All children should be taught to be kind to animals and all living beings💗
kids still play outside in the mud like normal kids did back before tech stole childhood from young people! nice to see. wombats have to be one of my favorite animals on the planet.
In rural America, kids still play like this!!
A living Teddy Wombat

Sorry but what is a wimbat?

The Dad is awesome letting his daughter take care of this precious baby correctly.
