Posted many times, but still a good photo. Poor little scorched Koala.

Makes me cry every time I see it. It restores a little bit of faith in humanity when I see how nice some people are towards animals.

From the same fires there were a few reported cases of koalas and other creatures coming into the suburbs. One person posted several photos of a young koala carefully getting into a bucket of water they put out in the backyard. Photos and more info here

EDIT: The koala in the OP's photo has a wikipedia article

That koala that climbed in the bucket of water was only about a 45 minute drive from where I live.
