The thirsty koala gladly drank the bottled water as a heroic firefighter took the time to feed it directly to the displaced animal
The koala, known as Lewis, was saved by Toni Doherty in a dramatic rescue caught on. In the footage, Doherty ran into the burning bushland from her car, immediately wrapping the koala in the shirt off her own back.
After getting the marsupial to safety, she poured water all over the koala to cool its burns before taking him to a local animal hospital. “Today we made the decision to put Ellenborough Lewis to sleep,” the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital said in a statement on“We placed him under general anesthesia this morning to assess his burns injuries and change the bandages,” the statement continued. “We recently posted that ‘burns injuries can get worse before they get better.’ In Ellenborough Lewis’s case, the burns did get worse, and unfortunately would not have gotten better.
