I really hope they face some hard consequences!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They found the bodies of the two family members of a family friend. The husband was found on his front yard and the wife was in the house. So terribly sad.
Yes, I know that. But it's reflex to call it a "bear". Sorry...Originally Posted by sarahp
Just want to add that a koala is not a bear... It is a marsupial - like kangaroos and possums.
I think it's going to be hardest on the koalas all these fires. There are many sorts of eucalypts, but koalas are very selective about the specific type of eucalyptus leaves they eat, and any that have survived will struggle to find enough to nourish them
It breaks my heart thinking about the echidnas, wombats and koalas and other such slow moving native animals that would have had no chance
