A woman is being hailed a hero after she risked her life to rescue a burnt koala from the bushfires in Long Flat, Australia, last Tuesday, Nov. 19. As she approached the koala, she took off her shirt and used it to cover the animal. After the rescue, Doherty narrated that the koala was “crying and screaming” because of the flames. According to the report, Lewis is also set to be transferred to a carer’s home to receive further care. ADVERTISEMENTMeanwhile, because of the recent bushfires in Australia, the hospital has put up a GoFundMe page to develop a koala breeding facility to ensure that the species does not become extinct.
