FIRE-RESCUED KOALAS BEING RELEASED BACK INTO THE WILD

Want some good news? Australia is starting to release koalas back into the wild following the devastating fires of the past several months. Four adult koalas and one brand new joey have been released in the Kanangra-Boyd National Park in the state of New South Wales. They’re the first of 12 koalas rescued during the bushfires. They have been sheltering at Sydney’s Taronga Zoo since January. The rest will be released soon. A shocking 10,000 koalas – a third of the total koala population of New South Wales – are estimated to have died from the bushfires, as well as drought over the Australian summer.
* 10,000 dead ’cause koalas will not run for anything. ANYTHING.
* They’re being placed back into the wild with strict instructions not to get within six feet of each other.
* The koalas were overjoyed to be back in the wild, which they exhibited by staring blankly off into the distance.
* A Koala bear walks into a bar, sits down and eats the bartender’s sandwich. Then he pulls out a gun, shoots the piano player, and starts to walk out. The bartender yells, “Hey! You ate my sandwich, shot my piano player, and you’re just walking out? What’s the deal?” The Koala replies, “Hey, I’m a Koala. Look it up.” The frustrated bartender pulls out his phone, Googles Koala bear, and reads: Koala bear. A marsupial that eats shoots and leaves.
