Dehydrated Koala Desperately Approaches Cyclist And Sips From Water Bottle
Rising temperatures in Australia and the enduring wildfires have posed serious challenges for local wildlife, who often have no other choice but to endure the unbearable heat. However, one little koala in need of a good drink thankfully got some help from a particularly kindhearted cyclist.

According to the Independent, Aussie cycling enthusiast Anna Heuseler went viral this month after lending her water bottle to a desperately dehydrated koala who sought out her help during a recent ride.

Heuseler posted photos and a video of the incredibly touching encounter on Instagram where she also explained the situation.

The bushfires are tragic and heartbreaking for all concerned in Australia

We live in South Aust ,we had a fire in the hills a week ago destroying over 90 home’s and killing allot of wildlife including koalas 🐨 As well as one person killed trying to defend his horses

We had another catastrophic fire danger day yesterday with temps up in the mid 40 c with strong winds that reignited some of the fires in the hills
Thank goodness we got a cool change overnight however we are back scorching temps again next week

...sounds like the 5(or 6) year drought we had here in Calif. a couple years ago. Just had another 10 inches of snow, would be willing to send the next storm your way.

I read that about 500K animals have died in the fires.
