Koala gulps water as kind man comes to its aid

Good Samaritan Colin Phil Cook found this heat-stricken koala on Friday in Adelaide Hills, south Australia, a region currently ravaged by drought and bushfires.

With the koala being in an obviously distressed state, he offered his water bottle and the koala drank eagerly and without hesitation. He hopes the koala survived and hasn't suffered kidney damage as a result of dehydration.

The poor thing!

Reminds me of the story that was going around a while ago about the guy feeding the abandoned cats in a war-destroyed neighbourhood in Syria or Iraq.

Good on yer, Mate!

Wow... I had no idea Koalas were so friendly.
