Beruang koala kehausan kejar penunggang basikal demi sedikit air

BUKAN sahaja manusia yang tidak dapat menahan gelombang panas yang melanda Australia susulan kebakaran hutan yang semakin merebak di negara itu.

Malah haiwan juga terpaksa berdepan tekanan untuk kekal hidrat sepanjang menghadapi gelombang panas.

Jika sebelum ini media antarabangsa yang melaporkan ribuan beruang koala mati dalam kebakaran hutan dan hilang akibat kehilangan tempat tinggal.

Terbaharu, tular di media sosial seekor koala terpaksa mengejar manusia untuk mendapatkan air kerana kehausan.

Menerusi perkongsian di Instagram, Anna Heusler yang sedang berbasikal bersama rakan-rakannya di Adelaide pada Jumaat 'disapa' haiwan itu.
