Meet “Kodak” the Koala. ? There were about a dozen cyclists around me watching this and several commented that it was genuinely the best thing they’ve witnessed. What a truly wonderful experience. Check out my previous posts this morning for explanation. : Please see my “Go Fund Me” page which is on my Instagram profile bio that I have commenced to raise money for the rescue team caring for over 100 sick and injured koalas in Adelaide. @bikebug2019 : : #animals #bushfire #cudleecreek #cudleecreekfire #adelaidehills #habitatlost #kangaroo #joey #adelaidekoalas #sabushfires #savingkoalas #bushfireappeal #donate #rescue #save #sabushfires #australianbushfires #koala #koalas #koalasofinstagram #koalabears #koala?

Este vídeo muestra la amenaza para la biodiversidad del país y la predisposición de algunos humanos por tratar de evitarla. Anna Heusler, la ciclista que atiende al animal en el vídeo, cuenta en Instagram que paro y el animal caminó hacia ella, y cuando le ofreció agua de sus botellas, escaló por la bici.

My new best friend ? “Kodak” coming for a ride on my bike this morning on another 40 degree Celsius day in Adelaide, South Australia ?? where we are in the midst of a heatwave and the countryside is burning out of control with bushfires ? for several days now. Devastating losses of homes and wildlife. Brave firefighters. ? : Please see my “Go Fund Me” page which is on my Instagram profile bio that I have commenced to raise money for the rescue team caring for over 100 sick and injured koalas in Adelaide. @bikebug2019 : : : : #animals #bushfire #cudleecreek #cudleecreekfire #adelaidehills #habitatlost #kangaroo #joey #adelaidekoalas #sabushfires #savingkoalas #bushfireappeal #donate #rescue #save #sabushfires #australianbushfires #koala #koalas #koalasofinstagram #koalabears #koala?
