A couple days ago we told you about efforts being made to help the animal victims of the Australian wildfires in Victoria. One particular story touching hearts worldwide is that of Sam the koala, who miraculously survived the fire.




Below is newly released video footage taken by Firefighter David Tree, who found the little guy and gave him a bottle of water.

Sam the koala (who is actually a female) is safe & sound now, and has become an international celebrity overnight!

thats so nice of that firefighter to give the koala a drink of water. It is sad situation because it probably was a careless person who just flicked a lit cigerette out the window.

I was watching this on Ellen just yesterday. I think that it was something very sweet of this man to do for the poor dear. I love animals, and if I could be there to help, I would be.
