HE’S GOT A NOSE FOR ADVENTURE
AFTER being found alone and injured in a paddock, 10-month-old wombat Sebago has settled in to the care of Wild Paws Wildlife Shelter.
Since being orphaned, he’s been at the shelter in Victoria for two months and operator Nell Pedzik says the latest rescue is starting to enjoy the company of his fellow baby wombats. “He was initially really distressed from losing his mum,” Ms Pedzik said. “The older wombats get, the harder it is to lose their mum because they have such a strong bond, and he was just too little to continue on his own.
“He’s doing well now but he is still very clingy and needs that extra love and affection.”
Wild Paws Wildlife Shelter at Monbulk presently is at full capacity, with 10 wombats.
Ms Pedzik said she had noticed a rise in animals that had been hit on the roads, and urged people to slow down and look out for injured wildlife.

AUSSIE gangsters have been warned in a specially made video that Dubai’s reputation as a safe haven for ex-pat criminals is a thing of the past.
The three-minute video was posted on Facebook and other social media platforms with Dubai police highlighting the arrest of two alleged Sydney drug syndicate bosses in a joint operation with NSW and the Australian Federal Police.
News Corp understands NSW and the AFP have been working behind the scenes for the past few years to help Dubai police to identify individuals using the city to hide from Australian authorities.
“They hated the reputation in criminal circles that Dubai was safe,” a senior Australian law enforcement source said.
