Billy was discovered clinging to a tree with four severely singed paws in a backyard in Adelaide Hills, Australia. The distressed male koala, yet another victim of the bushfire crisis, was gently picked up and driven to safety for urgent medical care.

Lucy and Adam Francis of Adelaide and Hills Koala Rescue took to Facebook around Christmastime to share news of Billy’s arrival at the shelter with their followers.
