An American tourist who was reportedly filmed picking up and running off with a wild baby wombat fled Australia after officials threatened to cancel her visa in a firestorm of criticism over the incident.

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.

Sam Jones, who describes herself as an "outdoor enthusiast and hunter," made her Instagram account private on Thursday after she was widely condemned for the video.
