I received this email today......



It has been so hot in SA for over a week…40+ degrees Celsiuseveryday, very dry also.

A guy at work lives at Maude.  His wife sent him these photos of a little Koala which just walked into the back porch looking for a bit of heat relief.  She filled up a bucket and this is what happened!

Poor little pet...he must have been desperate because Koalas rarely drink water they get most of what they need from the eucalypt leaves they eat. The bush animals must be suffering so much in this heat.. South Australia has recently had temperatures of 115 degrees Farenheit 45 Celsius......

Oh wow Denise, how wonderful! What a thrill that must have been for them. How cute is that little Koala.
        The poor creatures must really have been suffering- I have noticed the birds were noticeably quieter than usual during the hottest weather last week. I am so glad we are through our heatwave,  fingers crossed S.A is through it soon!

At least he was able to get a drink and cool himself down for a while.

Thank you so much Denise for sharing this wonderful set of pictures. Poor little guy, thank goodness he was able to get some relief from the heat. I feel so sorry for the other wildlife who have not managed to reach shelter and water. If I lived out there I would leave bowls of water around my property and keep them topped up.

Hugs, Jane.  bear_thumb  bear_flower  bear_thumb

That is so cool!  I have the critters that show up here on occasion for a hand out, but nothing along the lines of a koala.   Of course if a koala showed up at my house, I would know that I was at the wrong house (wrong country).

WOW  how adorable is that,  love the pics of this little guy so so adorable.  Nothing like this would show up on my doorstop,  maybe a skunk or a raccoon and they are not near as cute as a Koala.

thanks for posting

big hugs

Super great photos, Denise . . . thanks for sharing with us!!!  That little guy is so lucky and soooo cute.  Would love to see him at my back door - we have only stray cats, dogs, raccoons, possums, snakes, and coyotes wanting handouts at my house.

I am in Adelaide as well, and we are suffering so much with the heat wave.  We put out water too for the wild animals to come and get some respite.  My step son put some water out at his place yesterday, and when he looked out the window, a six foot brown snake had come for a drink.  They are fatal if they bite you, and so he had the water bowl all to himself!!!

Oh that breaks my heart! I just hate to see an animal suffer.  That's one of the reasons I quit eating them. Poor thing must have been desperate for water. Thank goodness for a helping hand!! So cute he climbed into the bucket and looked right at the camera too!!  bear_wub  bear_wub  bear_wub
