Wombat Joey Chases Down Chickens Encroaching on His Meal in Kangaroo Valley, New South Wales

A wombat joey chased off a pair of curious chickens encroaching on his family’s meal at a property in Kangaroo Valley, New South Wales.

Dudley is the child of Evelyn, who began visiting Kate Pell’s property during a drought in 2018 and has been a regular visitor ever since.

“Evelyn comes out whilst it’s still light and walks Dudley around a little. He still suckles but is eating grass too,” Pell told Storyful.
