Koala family rescued.0:16
When I got the call from a family that there was a koala in their backyard, I thought it was just going to be a routine call.0:28
These words came from Vicki Pender of the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service.0:36
Koala bears roam around in search of food.0:42
If they see a eucalyptus tree, they go straight for it, regardless of where it is.0:45
When I got there, it was obvious the koala was restless.0:51
I had to give her an injection to calm her down.0:54
Just then, I heard a loud cry from a tree nearby.0:57
It was her little joey screaming for its mum.1:00
A joey is what a baby koala is called.1:04
Viki realised just then how critical it was to help the mother koala.1:08
Baby koalas or joeys are completely dependent on their mums and have very specialised diets.1:14
They cannot survive on their own for very long.1:22
At that point, I turned my attention to the baby and coaxed it out of the tree.1:26
Luckily, Mum and Joey were rescued and had a short stay in the animal hospital.1:31
Before long, they were released into the wild again.1:37
Together they disappeared into the leaves, happy to settle in for some dinner.1:41
