As the annual bushfire season continues to ravage Australia’s east coast, one lucky survivor and his rescuer have caught the world’s attention.
A woman spotted a koala crossing a road heading for the trees, attempting to escape the blaze in the town of Long Flat, New South Wales. The desperate animal’s back legs were burnt from scurrying across the flames. The woman decided in an instant to help by taking the shirt from her own back and lifting the koala to safety.
