Thirsty koalas

[PinkBike]

my aunt sent me this, i guess it's 120 degrees in australia and the koalas are asking people for water

Did he have a little cardboard sign?
Are the koalas there like the chipmunks in Yellowstone? I had one run up my arm.

Do you think customs would notice if I put him in a sherpa bag and brought him home with me? Soooooo cute!

That photo is from earlier this year at the Tour Down Under in Adelaide. (It was a few weeks before the devastating bushfires in Vic.)

It's not that hot at the moment :rolleyes:..It's not even summer!!!

Koalas do not run up your arm :rolleyes: nor do they even like people. The ones folks can hold at zoos die at a younger age as it stresses them. They'd rather sleep in the treetops & not be bothered by people.

THanks for the clarification. Was thinking it's 120oF and anyone is riding a bike?
