Great photo

A friend made her donation to the RSPCA instead of the Red Cross which was a nice thought.

i found this video the same as your pics,cheers.

Not trying to be negative, but, my understanding is that Koalas don't drink. Rather they get their fluid form leaves.

Perhaps they do need water in extreme conditions, I wouldn't know.

Could this be a photo shop creation?

Jast asking, don't nail me to a cross.

What a great photo and video clip.

It is all legit, The above picture was in the Courier Mail yesterday and today was another article about it with a picture of her with his paws all bandaged up.

The koala has been named Sam and is now living in Mountain Ash Wildlife Shelter.
She has become an instant celebrity all over the world.

The photo was taken on his mates mobile phone.

He saw the stricken koala while doing backburning and knew he had to help her.
"I could see she had sore feet and was in trouble, so I pulled over the fire truck. She just plonked herself down, as if to say, 'I'm beat'," He said.
"I offered her a drink and she drank three bottles but the most amazing part was when she grabbed my hand".

Without sounding disrespectful in any way, did anyone notice the CFA guys name is David TREE? No wonder she was hanging on to him.

Generally, koalas don't need/drink water. In times of extreme heat however they will search for water. Here in the Adelaide Hills they get down on the ground, cross roads etc desperate for water when the weather is extreme. Very dangerous time for them from cars and dogs. We keep our dog indoors and get water to the koalas whenever possible and then they go back up into the trees.
