Wildfires

Near Melborne, Australia there have been some pretty bad wildfires, burning many animals and killing many people. There was a story on the news about this one koala who got very badly burned. The shy marsupial came to the States for treatment. The koala was not saved but s/he did do one last thing before s/he died. Koalas are normally shy and they try to stay away from people, but this one koala, right before death came up to a person trying to save him/her and gave that person a hug. The person was astonished that the koala did this, and now that person would like to help more animals along the way who have been hurt. Many think that animals, aside from pets, have no personality. Well, this koala proved all of those people wrong. Go koalas!!
