I received this email today and it was too cute not to share. I believe it originates from a family in Maude (Victoria?) an area which has been experiencing a heat wave like us in Adelaide. They just offered the little fella a bucket of water and he couldn't resist a dip!
For any overseas reader - this is not normal koala behaviour!! I have personally seen one koala drink from a creek when I was working in a very isolated area of the Adelaide Hills,but this little guy obviously needed a bigger cool down :). I hope it survived the heat.

Thanks Trudy for the email, I loved it :)

I got this same email today too! How cute does he look with that little tongue lapping the water? The poor animals have been having such a tough time of it.
It makes me thankful for airconditioning that is for sure. This email was much cuter than the rainbow loriketes I recently saw near our home that appeared to have just cooked in the tree and then fallen to the ground :(
I saw on the news a cyclist giving a koala a drink from his water bottle. This is even cuter! Poor little mite.
yes, I saw that today on msn Dani, it was very cute (although obviously the animals are struggling).
