The koala was a female who was named Sam at the point that those involved still thought she was a he. The fact that firefighter David Tree was able to approach Sam was a miracle; then the fact that he was able to feed her water was even more astounding — not just because koalas don't usually accept human contact (much less hold a human's hand for comfort), but because koalas don't normally drink water. They usually get all their needs met by eating eucalyptus leaves. So this was one amazing situation. Sam went on to get herself a boyfriend while recovering at an animal sanctuary, but sadly later died from her burn wounds. Australia was devastated. I was crushed. Almost everyone had been following her updates in the news, hoping she'd make it. :(

It was around the time of the Black Saturday fires (February 2009), but this particular koala was caught up in a backburning operation, not the devastating bushfires themselves.

I wish people would be more careful with tilted windows if they have cats. There's enough options to seal the gap if you insist on having the window open all the time.
