Can I say a big thank you also to the fire crews from both the US and NZ who have gone to help in Victoria.

And to the Indonesian forensics team who have gone to help identifying the dead.

Any reason we don’t have the video?

Lets let the arsonist go without a basic need with a fire following them for a few days. Only thing is, no one will share their water with them.

That poor baby! Koalas normally don’t drink water, so I can’t imagine the condition that bear must’ve been in to have accepted three bottles worth.

Despite how evocative the picture is,the very idea of a koala voluntarily behaving like this is no greater indicator of how bad it is for them.

It is not cute at all.

Oh I know it is, I know it looks cute, but realy the Drop Bears, don’t do this sort of thing.

that’s beautiful. of course, the fires are atrocious and i, too, hope they catch those responsible…but that act of kindness and the trust of the koala is beautiful.

When I saw that image, my thoughts immediately went to a little bear orignally named Hotfoot Teddy.

I believe that Sam would make an excellent spokeskoala for forest fires.

This is a truly beautiful picture. It shows that there are people who are able to see that life is worth saving, no matter if it is an animal or a human.

There’s rumours flying around about Islam declaring a “forest jihad”, but I think that’s just a cry for help from those self righteous attention deprived fools. Thing is right now during the summer season it’s possible for fires to happen naturally, but given the situation it’s an ideal situation for initiated fires to start too. There is a large supply of stupid teenagers so it’s not unreasonable to point fingers there too.

I really hope they find out who set these fires. I can’t believe someone would maliciously start a wild fire.
