A ten-month-old koala receives care and treatment at an RSPCA triage site. She lost her mother in the forest fires and her back paws are scorched. She eats browse (leaves) but still breastfeeds so she is being given a milk supplement, and is on pain medications via an IV. Australia, 2020. Jo-Anne McArthur / We Animals Media

Koalas feel much more secure when they can hold on to something tightly. When koalas need to be examined at Southern Cross Wildlife Care, they give them a teddy bear to cling to. This koala was orphaned in the bushfires and is recovering from wounds.

Burned koalas are darted with a sedative, then captured and lowered from the tree for veterinary care. They will later be released into a surviving forest.

Veterinarian Chris Barton of Vets for Compassion carries eucalyptus browse into a destroyed eucalyptus tree plantation where surviving koalas perch high in trees. The fresh eucalyptus is tied to the base of trees which lures them down, at which point the rescuers and vets can catch the koala and assess them for injuries. If the animals are kept for rehabilitation, they will later be released to the wild.
