Sam, a koala survivor from one of Australia’s recent wildfires, is doing very, very well!
The world met Sam when videos of her rescue were posted all over the news and in the internet. She was rescued by a firefighter named David Tree and left quite an impression to humans around the globe when she drank Tree’s water bottle while holding his hand.
“I could see she had sore feet and was in trouble, so I pulled over the fire truck. She just plonked herself down, as if to say ‘I’m beat’,” Tree said. “I offered her a drink and she drank three bottles. The most amazing part was when she grabbed my hand. I will never forget that.”
According to Sam’s animal carers, the burns in her paws are healing really good now.
