And that way the animal got killed. Don't blame you though, i would have done the same
-
@Margui622 You're probably right plus with the heat of the fire she was probably unusually dehydrated too.

Our firefighters are pretty much Batman. What a bloody legend.

Haha, it is okay :)

@ChasingDestination : OK . I was lost in translation despite living in the U.S for many years, could not understand certain jokes, yet. :)
-
You misunderstand me xD I was completely joking. I was being sarcastic and mocking the people who think it's fake, considering you can't exactly fake a forest fire and a dehydrated Koala Bear. I agree with you.

@SharnsiR : That forest where she was found was all destroyed by the fire. It's obvious that she could not find any leaves to chew on. She was dehydrated. That's was the reason she accepted to drink water.

@ChasingDestination : It would it an act of cruelty if this was fake. But it was real!! Somebody was responsible for the arson. This was news all over the world. That little koala suffered burns in her paws and was dehydrated. Animals by instinct know when somebody is try to help them.

The wierd part is that Koalas don't normally drink water at all. They get the moisture they need from the gum leaves they eat.
