Dehydrated koala approaches cyclist for help as Australian wildlife suffers in heatwave and fires
‘It walked right up to me ... and climbed up onto my bike while I gave him water,’ says rider

A dehydrated and confused koala approached a passing cyclist in what appeared to be a call for help, as a heatwave and wild fires continued to grip Australia.

The koala hurried over and drank thirstily when offered a water bottle, even clambering onto Ms Heuseler’s bike to take big gulps.

Cycling through Greece
Touring Spetses by bike is a great way to experience island's lush nature

Basically, there's one road around the island (and no cars) - you can walk from one side of island t't'other in about 30 minutes (over the 'mountain', that is). Good place to read 'The Magus'.

I saw a pair just north of Peso Aetos harbour last September. I think I've got a photo I can post.

Remarkable vid.  The koala acts as if it was tame.  Must have been desperate.. The impact of the fires on wildlife is devastating.
