        So cute!!

        Here’s an unexpected moment shared with a weaning koala clearly suffering in the heatwave.

        It was early evening on a day when finally we had some relief from the heat of the middle of the day when the youngster displayed his new skill of hailing cyclists and sharing their drink bottles with them.

        If you have an experience interacting with wildlife particluarly during the heatwave then please share it here by sending in a comment below

        The photo of the koala bathing was taken in Maude in the Mid North of South Australia.

        The koala came to the back porch looking for relief, the lady of the house put out the basin and the koala promptly sat itself in the water

         

        This was similar to the experience of callers into the program.

        Another listener Paul sent in the photo of the koala drinking from the ice cream container. “We spotted this hot koala while taking our dog for a walk. The container (marked koala water) was nearby. We filled the container with water and the koala had a long drink”

        Justin sent in this photo from the backyard

        “This guy was hanging around this morning in a tree out the front. When I saw him and in light of Tim’s recent experience, I (illegally) filled up the fountain under the bird bath nearby and when it got hot he went down and had a dip. And don’t believe any one who tells you they don’t like water – he was splashing around and guzzling it!”

          I love seeing and hearing about all the koala stories because of the heat wave! I’m fascinated.

                      That pic of the koala getting drenched with the water bottle sort of freaks me out. He looks like one of those evil Gremlins. Remember that movie? I watched it the other day and he looks like the crazy, evil gremlin!

                        With the tongue out sideways, one eye closed, and you can really see his hands? Yup me too Puffy…although I couldn’t decide if he was freaky-run-away or freaky-I-need-to-cuddle-that-koala-badly

                          He looks really drunk or generally effed up to me! Haha. Either way it’s ridiculous.
