MELBOURNE: An American influencer left Australia on Friday after the government announced it was reviewing her visa over a video she posted of her snatching a baby wombat from its mother.

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