This Koala Is Very Thirsty


(YouTube Link)

This poor little guy wandered into a woman's yard in Australia due to it being a particularly hot day, so the woman decided to let him drink from the hose. Apparently koalas don't understand how hoses work, because he gets more water on his arm than he does in his mouth!

Koalas (Koalae?) usually get all the water they need from the leaves that they eat. Of course it does not know how to drink. On the other hand, cool water soaking its coat would be quite refreshing.

That koala is not only thirsty but hot.

Kangaroos lick their wrists to cool off (by evaporation over the surface blood vessels). Hose water probably works even better. Getting more water on his arms than in his mouth might be his intention.

Good video and as others have said unusual for a Koala to drink water unless in a bad way.
