This guy is the best dad to his baby wombats! To celebrate Father's Day, we decided to see if Kurt could tell his baby wombats apart while blindfolded... ❤️

00:00I absolutely adore them.
00:08Bindi came into our care first, her mother was hit on the side of the road.
00:12It's crazy how many you see on the side of the road.
00:22The next to come in was Little Miss.
00:27Then finally we got Billy.
00:29Then a cute little boy.
00:32They've basically taken over everything.
00:35Excuse you.
00:37Wake up in the morning, coffee's the first thing I go to.
00:42It is a little bit my favourite.
00:44Every morning we have a cuddle, so that's probably my favourite part of the day.
00:47I still look forward to that every day because I know that's not going to happen forever.
00:53It'll be a snotty crying day when I say goodbye to them.
00:56In the mornings they'll have their milk first.
01:04It's an art form because you've got to hold the bottles differently.
01:07Look at that little face though.
01:10Little bit milk drunk.
01:12Falling asleep while sitting up.
01:14Have a bit of a run, get some native grasses in.
01:18So it's been raining and Little Miss here doesn't want to get her tootsies wet.
01:23So she's having her grassy nibbles.
01:27You can't take a step without three wombats under your feet.
01:30Today's playtime's inside.
01:32If it gets too hot outside because they can't take the heat, we will bring them inside into an air-conditioned room.
01:37We'll just bring in anything we can find.
01:41We will have to change the carpet here when they go.
01:44In the spirit of Father's Day, I want to put you to the test.
01:47Would you be able to tell the wombats apart blindfolded?
01:50I very confidently think I could, yes.
01:57I think I'm good.
02:04It's going to be hard because they're all so chunky now.
02:09A bit of a wiggle with them.
02:14A little bit softer of a coat, I'm going to say.
02:16This one's Little Miss.
02:18Does she dangle?
02:20That's Little Miss.
02:22Next up.
02:29I missed this one.
02:32Do you dangle?
02:35I'm going to have to guess Billy because the other one was definitely Little Miss.
02:39I'm guessing Billy.
02:46Jumpy, mama.
02:47I don't even have to guess.
02:50You dangle.
02:51100%.
02:52Not even need to worry about it.
02:53That is definitely the one.
02:58We are starting to get to the point where we do need to dehumanise them a bit.
03:02Release Day is going to be very bittersweet.
03:04They're definitely getting to that age.
03:07Having the chance to be able to do this has been amazing.
03:09It happened at a time in my life that I needed some kind of purpose and direction,
03:12and they instantly gave me that.
03:16If you hit an animal or an accident does happen,
03:18even if you're just sitting on the side of the road, just pull over and check it.
03:20It takes two minutes and you could literally save a life.
