I don't normally use other people's photos unless I can credit the source, but this is such genuine cuteness I have to make an exception. It also got reported in The Mercury. The text that came with the photos follows:
"In Victoria the temperature has been above 44 degrees all week
and they are forecasting another week of 40+ temperatures. Power isfailing, trains have stopped running because tracks are buckling under
the heat . It's just scorching.
It seems that the people are not the only ones suffering.
Check out these photos of a little Koala which just walked onto a
back porch looking for a bit of heat relief. The woman filled up a bucket
for it, and this is what happened!"
That's a surprisingly cute koala, normally they look really manky close up
ReplyDeleteI agree. For the international readers who have had the koala wool pulled over their eyes by the incredibly effective koala public relations unit.
ReplyDelete1. They are not bears.
2. They are only cute when they are little.
3. Fortunately for them, they are so cute when they are little that it sort of has a residual effect into adulthood and that is why they are not exterminated.
Oh Goodness that koala is cute. I mean, my heart melted when I looked at this series of pictures. Then I went outside and it re-froze. Come visit the tundra. You'll just looooooooooooooooove slogging though it here.
