An Australian woman has shared a surprising encounter with a wombat in her home.
In a video posted on social media, the woman walked into her living room after hearing rustling noises and asked: ‘What the f*** is happening behind my couch?’
She then approached the right-hand side of the couch and pointed the camera behind it, revealing a large wombat lying on its side.
‘The f*** are you doing?’ she said.
The TikTok has 2.5M likes and users were surprised that it was a wombat behind the couch

The wombat responded by snorting and scratched the back of the couch.
The woman repeats: ‘Huh?… What the f*** are you doing?’
In reply the wombat snorted again and scratched the couch again.
‘Leave my couch alone!’ the woman said.
The video didn’t explain why the wombat was found inside the house or hiding behind the couch. However, Daily Mail Australia understands the woman who shared it is a veterinary student who helps care for sick native animals.
The video has received more than 2.5M likes and over 8,000 comments and users were surprised that it was a wombat behind the couch.
‘I definitely didn’t expect a wombat!’ one said.
‘I’d be so happy to find a wombat eating and scratching at my couch,’ another said.
Overseas social media users also weighed in: ‘Would prefer this to the rat that sh*t all over my kitchen in Leeds last year,’ one said.
Another replied: ‘In NYC we have mice and rats.’
