Young koalas can be very curious and very friendly, and after Alicia Alexander noticed that one such koala had been in the gum trees outside her house over the course of two hot days, she decided to go outside and give it some water.
The little koala was so happy to finally get a drink that he came right over to Alicia and even seemed to want to cuddle! The way he lets her pet him, and even hold his hand, makes it seem like he truly understands she means him no harm, and when she gets up to walk back into the house, he even reaches for her, almost to say, "thank you for the water!"
While wild animals should always be treated as wild animals and never as pets, this little guy seems perfectly okay with being approached by a person, and has lived close by humans for his entire life. I'm glad someone was there to give him something to drink on a hot summer's day!
