I’m sure you’ve probably already seen a news piece about Sam the Koala. She’s been receiving international attention for her rescue by volunteer fire fighter David Tree and her friendship with another burnt koala.
I’ve bottle-fed an orphaned baby kangaroo and can say, on an ordinary day, such a brush with wildlife is unforgettable. To find animals that survived a horrendous fire and to have a shared moment is extraordinary.
The story gets better from there.
“They keep putting their arms around each other and giving each other hugs. They really have made friends and it is quite beautiful to see after all this. It’s been horrific,” said Wood . . .
Tree, a volunteer with the Country Fire Authority Victoria, has visited Sam since her rescue and was delighted to see she had bonded with Bob.
“They’ve really taken a shine to each other as they are both burned and share the same burned smell,” he said. . .
Wood said the koalas would be released back into nature once a suitable habitat is found.

It just goes to show you can find beauty even in the wake of utter devestation.
