FromSubject: Fwd: Koalas in Australia (During heat wave in 2009)





Australia has had a record heat wave with devastating fires as a result.
Koalas if you don't know are not social and don't come out of trees or  
down to the suburbs very often.
But the main thing is that they don't actually drink water normally at  
any time. All their food and water source is provided from the  
eucalyptus leaves that they eat.

That's why they sleep about 22 hours of the day because the calories  
and liquid intake is not enough to keep them awake long enough, but  
they consume enormous amounts of leaves in that time.
The following photos are even more amazing once that fact is known.


                     KOALAS
DURING THE HEAT WAVE IN AUSTRALIA (2009)





























 From an Australian
citizen:

I truly am from a remarkable country!  And we
have THE cutest animals (AND some of the most deadly - I know!)
But I thought you would
appreciate how cute this is...!

At home in Victoria the temperature has been above
44  degrees (about 111 F*) all week and they are forecasting
another week of 40+ temperatures*.  Power is failing, trains have
stopped running because tracks are buckling under the heat .  It’s
just scorching, and it seems that the people are not the only ones
suffering.

Check out these photos of a little Koala which
just walked onto a back porch looking for a bit of heat
relief.
The
woman filled up a bucket for it and this is what
happened!























ooroo

Bad typists of the word, untie.
