Watch a baby wombat attempt to groom her doggy friend

Baby wombat friend

I didn’t realize baby wombats were so cute. I also didn’t realize they can get along really well with dogs.

This little girl named Yhi has a very special doggy guardian named Stella, and they seem to really get along.

Stella was actually bred and raised to watch over baby wombats, so she fully understands her role and how to act around the adorable little babies.

Watch as the baby wombat and her doggy friend hang out and groom each other.

Wombat joey Yhi and wombat guardian dog StellaWombat joey Yhi assisting Stella with her grooming …..sort of (watch when Yhi gets her tongue:)). Remember, Stella guards the wombats, that is what she is bred to do so she is with them from a very young age, protecting and looking after them.

I’m not sure if this relationship will continue forever but it’s definitely fun to watch.
