Koala Bears

Soldiers from the Australian Army are saving koalas. They are risking their lives to fight the onslaught of bushfires in the country.

In January of the new year, twenty-five people and more than one billion animals have perished in the Australia bushfires, which continues to burn.

There are many horrific tales of what is happening to the animals facing the wildfires in Australia. However the joy and beauty of this holocaust is in the stories of humans coming forward to rescue and care for the animals -- from people taking water bottles out to thirsty wildlife to people making mittens and pouches for injured animals. In one case it was a border collie who helped out a koala by leading it to water.

'Scorched Earth' references a military strategy that aims to destroy anything that might be useful to the enemy when retreating from a position. However in 2019, it takes on a new meaning, specifically in Australia.

Australia began the New Year fighting bushfires that ripped through the popular tourist state of Victoria. While tens of thousands of tourists and resident are looking for ways to evacuate, one brave soul went into the inferno to save koalas.

It is amazing where some animals are able to get comfortable and fall asleep. And then they manage to look absolutely adorable while doing it.

Boy it is hot today! I know that this is supposed to be a bird bath, but today it is a koala fountain.

A 'serial offender' koala with a penchant for misadventure had to be rescued once again after getting its head stuck in a power station's metal fence.
