Tree said he crouched down and held out a bottle of water for Sam to drink, which she eagerly accepted, holding Tree’s hand as he poured water into her mouth.

“You all right, buddy?” Tree asks in a video of the encounter as he approaches the koala. Later, as Sam gulps from the bottle, he quips: “How much can a koala bear?”

    I thought I had heard that koalas didn’t drink water–that they got their ‘moisture’ intake from eucalyptus.

    Oh Godammit, interspecies love and understanding in the wildfire. That picture is so beautiful.

    I guess these were special circumstances Coop, what with the eucalyptus trees all burned down and all.

    How much can a koala bear?

    This is so painfully typical of Australian humor! XD
