"I know what will make human evacuate the chair," the Sanctuary wrote. "Take human's forbidden work glove (as I know where that is located), that will make her move!"

The sanctuary worker can be heard trying to calm Molly as the wombat continues to bite and paw at the glove.

She informed the wombat her "hands are tied" while the wombat appears to eventually lose interest.
