A woman rescued a crying, burned, and desperate koala from an Australian bushfire in New South Wales in a gripping video that has gone viral around the world.
Euronews reports: “A local woman, who told Australia's Nine News her name was Toni, rushed to the koala's aid, wrapping the animal in her shirt and a blanket and pouring water over it. She said she would transport the injured koala to the nearby Port Macquarie Koala Hospital. The country's koala populations have been a major victim of the flames, with more than 350 of the marsupials feared killed in a major habitat.”
