Hundreds of koalas feared dead in Australia bushfire
Hundreds of koalas are believed to have perished in the wildfire that’s ripped through a prime habitat on Australia’s east coast. The blaze in a forest in New South Wales state has since burnt more than 4,900 acres. Officials believe it was sparked by a lightning strike. Port Macquarie Koala Hospital President said the fire was burning through about two-thirds of the koala habitat.
:(
Australia land management policy is still better than California's.
Kangaroos will fill the void.
Well, that's unfortunate. But not surprising. The call them gasoline trees for a reason.
Sucks. But nature is cruel. If you don't cultivate the land this happens. They should clear some of the trees and bushes in order to save the rest and the wildlife by letting there be space where there is nothing to burn. Don't let fires spread.
This is not news. Hundreds of koalas are killed on the roads every day here.
Another land management fail.
Koalas are as mean as they are dumb. This has been a Public Service Announcement.
NOOOOOOO
