Rian the Koala returns to the wild!

Almost six months after suffering horrific burns in a bushfire, Rian the koala has been released back into the wild.

Rian spent almost half a year in care at the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital under the watchful eye of Dr Amber Gillett, who describes her as a "beautiful koala" that she was excited to see back in the wild.

it is so hard releasing a animal, but once theyre back in their habitat, its a real joy knowing that theyre gone home.
