Koalas in Town  

Poor thing..I loved the koala's when we visited Australia..they are so cute. I always worry about the animals in fires and the injuries they sustain. I don't think they would let us get close enough to help them , do you? I know there are many animal loving groups that are dedicated to the rescue of such creatures..and I tip my hat to them and the wonderful work they do. Thanks for sharing..it must have been quite a sight!!

Yes I love our wildlife as well Abbey I think that we are a very lucky country to have so much wildlife here. Oh no koalas do drink water and especially as it must of been really hot in those dreadful bush fires that Victoria had recently.

That is sad. The koala is such a beautiful animal and to be pushed from it's home due to brush fire is very sad indeed. But I guess living in that area you get used to as much as a person can this sort of thing happening. Thanks for sharing this moment with us.

Awwwwwwwwww the poor little thing
I do hope it was ok
I am glad that we do not get this in the UK but then again it is totally different and we don't have a lot of wild Life actually I can't remember the last time I saw a Deer to be honest with you I know it has been many years ago

Hi Abby I am so jealous I love to see the pictures of Koalas, they look so sweet but I understand they are quite aggressive. and not the cute little cuddly things they appear to be. I am so pleased to hear this as they would be easy prey for every one if they weren't aggressive, I know that bear cubs look like sweet little stuffed toys, and they are playful, but look out for mama bear, she will just as soon kill you as look at you. people keep putting human emotions on animals and that is just wrong. And yes it is a shame that forest fire and in your case bush fires do such terrible damage, but that is mother nature looking after what needs to be done, we do not understand it and our interference has caused a lot of the problems in the animal kingdom, so I just look and never touch.

Awww, the poor little guy. He must have been so hurt and so confused. I hope he was OK too. That is so sad. I hope this tragedy ends quickly for your country. We have wild fires here in the United States California all the time. They are always terribly devastating. I hope your country recovers from this tragedy.
