Even Koalas Can't Stand the Heat

I was just sent the cutest thing in the mail.

Here is the back story:

In Victoria the temperature has been above 44 C degrees all week and they are forecasting another week of 40+ temperatures. Power is failing, trains have stopped running because tracks are buckling under the heat. It's just scorching.

And it seems that the people are not the only ones suffering.

Check out these photos of a little Koala which just walked on to a back porch looking for a bit of heat relief. The woman filled up a bucket for it and this is what happened!

For those of you outside of Australia who aren’t familiar with koalas, this is fairly unusual as they don’t normally drink. They get their water from gum leaves which are usually 40-60% water. Koalas are generally grumpy, stinky little things (but very cute looking) that can cause some serious damage if you get too close.

Here’s hoping for some less crazy weather soon!
