koala cuteness

Not only is Australia on fire, they are enduring a heatwave, with temperatures hovering around 44*C, 113*F.

My friend Kristi forwarded an email sent from a Microsoft employee down under. The pictures are just so unbelievably cute!

"Power is failing; trains have stopped running because tracks are buckling under the heat. It's just scorching, and it seems that the people are not the only ones suffering. Check out these photos of a little Koala which just walked onto a back porch looking for a bit of heat relief. The woman filled up a bucket for it and this is what happened!”

And here are some other little koala's that were rescued. These two both have minor burns. There is a video of the little koala drinking water, but my youtube is not working at the moment.

I hope they get the fires under control soon! It is just awful.
