Dehydrated Koala Desperately Approaches Cyclist And Sips From Water Bottle
Rising temperatures in Australia and the enduring wildfires have posed serious challenges for local wildlife, who often have no other choice but to endure the unbearable heat. However, one little koala in need of a good drink thankfully got some help from a particularly kindhearted cyclist.
According to the Independent, Aussie cycling enthusiast Anna Heuseler went viral this month after lending her water bottle to a desperately dehydrated koala who sought out her help during a recent ride.
Heuseler posted photos and a video of the incredibly touching encounter on Instagram where she also explained the situation.

and tragic what's happening there 
...petted.
Are koalas generally open to human contact?
Extreme koala lover. Koalas interacting with humans like this is NOT normal.
This is so heartbreaking. I'm so glad she helped.
Who will be there to give him water the next time he's in need? And what about all the rest that must also need water. Humans are screwing up this beautiful planet.
