@@debbieacushing5536 I know a sick animal when I see one. Too weak to eat, too dehydrated to drink properly etc. he was about 2 days from fainting and never waking up, but the last f.. thing he needs is a "family". A family will ruin his instinct and mentally handicap for life.. thus why the owner of the camping ground told them to find a good forest and leave him, not a burned out trunk in a desolate landscape without treating him for dehydration and lung damage. Professional help for animals is about treating physical damage and fucking off from the human race, which includes me and you 🥲
It killed me seeing him sitting at the base of that tree looking like all is lost. But as soon as he was riding in your backseat having a snack he perked up and seemed to be happy. I think he needed your companionship. Thanks for being there for him.
He was probably still suffering from the traumatic effects of being trapped up in a tree, when the forest fire was burning all around him... gotta say, I would not be in a rush to be up in a tree again any time soon, after almost being burnt alive.
@TRUTHANDCONSEQUENCESWILLNEVER No, Koalas live in large groups. Each Koala has a tree next to the trees of the other Koalas in a tribe. They're tribal.
Happy that they continued to assure he was OK by taking him to a doctor. Most people are like the campground owner and would have just left him in that tree and never checked again.
My heart broke seeing him under that tree,he may not have had visible burns but he was probably super dehydrated & i doubt he would've survived if he'd just been left to "find his own tree",these guys saved his life.
He probably also was in shock and quite depressed. Who knows. He might have watched as his tree and his family burned. That can be quite traumatizing no matter what species one is.
It's what most people would do- just throw him on a tree and leave. I loved that these people checked back and went the extra mile to assure his survival. Beautiful ❣

@@gottalovegabe1176 And nobody can save them all because we have jobs and money to make,and families to protect, animals that don't are saved by different shelters don't matter up until they're in a situation where they could get killed,or where they have to be on their own and defend themselves

Funny how humans have more empathy for animals than they do for each other. People see the human equivalent of that koala on the street all the time and they just walk on by. Ain’t no dodo think piece on that is there
@@lzasnw Funny how there can be a thousand different channels dedicated to humanitarian efforts towards humans... and yet, there will always be those select few, barging into the channels specifically dedicated to vulnerable animals... leaving vacuous, pseudo-noble comments to deflect from the content at hand. Clicking on a Dodo video, knowing it's going to show animal-related content and proceeding to complain about the lack of empathy towards humans. Someone's got way too much time on their hands, me thinks. Precious time that could be spent helping the aforementioned humans, perhaps 😉 By the way, I live in a neighborhood sprawling with famished cats and dogs (and coyotes). I've yet to see a single person hand them a few bucks or buy them a meal. I have, however, seen human equivalents receive such acts of kindness though. Funny, isn't it.
A koala munching his leaves in the back seat of a tourist car .. that's the most precious thing I've ever seen ! 🐨🌿😄 Thanks to these two fellow Germans for helping this little guy out. 💖
@@cnj67 We dont create them. Forrest fires are an inevitable part of life, they are meant to happen. They happen when the forrest becomes too dense, to make room for new growth. We can however PREVENT forest fires by cutting trees and creating clearings. When nature decides to clear some space, she does it very dramatically. When we allow proper logging and forestry to help by cutting down trees and creating clearings, then Mother Nature doesn't have to do it herself like that. That is why cutting down trees when necessary is so important.
"Koala leaves." That's too damn adorable and funny! This kind couple did a beautiful thing. I'm so relieved they came back for the koala and that the baby stayed where they left him. The koala may have been traumatized; he was lethargic and his sadness and loneliness broke my heart. I hope the koala recuperates at a sanctuary and eventually released in an area where he can find new family and friends. Sweet and poignant video, especially when one is having a difficult day.
New phrase. Koala Leaves. It's great! They are very, very picky about the leaves they eat, so you seem to have chosen very well. I remember hearing about a German person in the UK asking for where they could find the.. err... "food weapons?" to mean cutlery, and when I think of the word cutlery, I think of 'food weapons' nearly always. I love human brains and what they do with language :)
I almost cried. So sad how the little fellow looked when they sat him under that tree. He apparently didn’t have a family anymore. He thought they were going to leave him. So glad they took him to the hospital. I sure hope he is doing ok. I have more of a heart for animals than I do people, but sometimes they need a person with a heart to help them.
100%... I'll choose animals all day long over people, even children cause they too grow up and usually aren't very nice adults.. Animals need us more for our voice anyway...
I thought that he could ve grieving all his family and relatives. At least, at the rescue he will make friends. Physically he looked in a relative good shape.
Yet dehydration & hunger = severe ill health & Likely Severe Headache. We must consider headaches more often with all animals. (Animals’ headaches reminds me too of the terrible constricting “shirt” claimed to calm dogs, which forces shallow breathing. Likely it is inflicting headaches that cause dogs to be still. It hasn’t been ruled out.) I’m also thankful for the kindness in this video for the defenseless. Nothing is more important
The poor soul. He looked so sad and defeatedly alone at that tree. He actually looked happier and content in the car. Guess he just wanted some company.
To @halimahh2100: A big no to your comment that the Koala “just wanted some company.” Koala’s are solitary animals. This Koala was in shock. He was starving and dehydrated. This koala’s entire world had just burned to the ground a couple days ago. The Koala recognized that these people were there to help him. I’m glad they got this Koala to the right people to help him.
WONDERFUL people...and a great rescue. Poor little koala, obviously missing the warmth of family 😥, normal socialisation. BUT at least now he...or she...is headed in that direction again. 💛💛
Thank you, as an older Australian Lady, all l can say is Thank you for your kindness. A piece of my heart is forever more broken, not fixable at the loss of a billion of our animals here. l still get tears in my eyes and you both produced them again. Thank you for coming back the next morning, l know the sadness the Koala is feeling, l won't forget you both. xxx
It is truly terrible what happened there.Those fires were not of natural cause ,but produced with the help of DEW .Have read a testimony of smn who had almost saved his property when he realised they were bombed with energy and fled in a hurry ,understanding that strange and evil things were happening , impossible to deal with.
No, it was kicked out of a tree by another. Just needed to find it own. They get depressed and then eventually get back on their way. You do realise that if the couple is still in the country they can be fined for touching it?
@@michaelversace456 Oh please, that fine is probably to stop people going up to koalas and just touching them and annoying them and potentially harming them. I doubt anyone is going to fine this couple for trying to help the koala and bringing him to a hospital. They tried their best and the koala was going to be released later.
@@michaelversace456 Not the same. While that is stupid that people get fined for trying to remove koalas from their own backyards (as long as they tried to do it safely) or most people would call animal control or something but still can't see anyone that would willingly fine this couple. Even so, glad they still decided to help
So cute when the man called the Eucalyptus leaves, "Koala leaves"!! My heart melted!! What a lovely couple. 💜 It was clear he was a very sad Koala. Probably lost his family in the fire. 😢 They did a Wonderful thing. They saved his Life!! God Bless. 💚💚💚
@@lyaneris uh...they actually eat close to about 40 different types, with preference depending on the region. If they only ate one type, you'd only ever find koalas in one tiny region of the country.
Whoever says animals can’t have feelings or feel pain is literally tryna justify hurting theese beautiful creatures that poor thing looked so depressed all alone willing to go up to a random person which could’ve been a predator or poacher Thank God there’s still people like this in the world despite all the evil we been seeing this year the dodo always is there to restore my faith in humanity 🤍
When Marcel said that the experience would stay with them all their life - he was absolutely correct - about 40 years ago we rescued a platypus - I've never forgotten him - hope he went on to have a great life.
This is the best of a terrible situation. I love the juxtaposition of kindness on that burnt,bleak dirt road. You never know where love will show itself. And you've got to love "koala leaves"😄 So precious 💗
Poor baby. This just breaks my heart. Lost his home, his family, his food and water source. I really hope he can have a life restored. Grateful they found him and did their best for him.
Ya The couple helped , he will be at the sanctuary/hospital … they’re going to make him strong n well and he’ll be released to a good area. Follow your instincts guys, like this 2 couple did.
You know, back in the day adults would say to kids that animals don't feel pain / emotion so they wouldn't be upset when the animals went to be slaughtered to feed the family, now we're living in such a surreal time that so-called "scientists" have convinced the masses that animals don't suffer. What a world we live in.. If you want to talk REAL science though, most animals, just like us, produce opioids in their body to combat serious and especially long-lasting pain, even such simple creatures such as earthworms produce these opioids, so yes even an earthworm feels pain & has enough of a mental capability to suffer! Animals also self-medicate by consuming many different plants, from opioid-containing ones to psychadelic mushrooms.
Unlike all the cruel heartless idiots who comment about how animals don't have feelings. I think they're projecting because psychopaths don't have feelings for anyone but themselves.
@@saltycat662animals have some feelings. but there is an alarming amount of delusional fanatics that humanize animals and worship them. so it goes both ways. animals don’t know mercy, ethics, morals.
*This video is a powerful reminder that animals are capable of feeling a wide range of emotions, just like humans. It's heartbreaking to see the pain and loss that this animal has experienced*
Poor thing, so traumatized! You did absolutely the right thing. Don't listen to others. Trust your own instincts. You can feel what the animal feels, act on that response. Koala needs to be in a safe zone for a while. Nature is brutal. Great job!!! Danke schoen!
" We stopped and picked koala 🐨 leaves 🌿... that is an animal lover for you 🥰😘 I'm so glad that Marcel and Melissa cared enough to stop and give this koala the care they needed, and then kept going and taking him back to the animal hospital 🌈
Man that truly broke my heart how sad he was sittin in front of that tree... He just wanted a friend and more and likely lost all he had... I truly love animals
Unless that was a eucalyptus tree, he wouldn't have been particularly happy in it. That said, it was smart that the visitors decided to feed him the appropriate food, provide water and get him to a rehabber. The koala was showing signs of physical stress and a rehabber would know how to help him the best. 👍
That poor baby was clearly traumatized and most likely dehydrated(from not eating leaves). I'm so glad that the kind couple took him to a shelter and didn't listen to the campground owner. The koala clearly needed looking after and this was such a heart warming story. Just so sweet to see a happy ending♥️!
Ultimately it is we humans who are destroying the environment of koalas and wildlife. We have to make our politicians so responsive to mining corporations and other corporations-- to stop climate destruction.
@Schmetterling Diesem Dankeschön möchte ich mich uneingeschränkt anschliessen. Ich hoffe, dass es ihm gut geht. Aber eine sei angemerkt...Tiere können denken und auch somit fühlen. Wie gerne würde ich wissen wollen, was sie denken. Schade das es keine direkte Kommunikation zwischen uns gibt. // I would like to wholeheartedly endorse this thank you. I hope he's fine. But one thing should be noted...animals can think and therefore feel. How I would like to know what they think. It is a pity that there is no direct communication between us.
It looks like a kid just put on a koala costume, especially when they are sitting in the car... unreal how adorable that little guy was. The way it looked when sitting under that tree broke my heart. I hope it is thriving now.
This exquisite animal wanted more LOVE than food. What an incredible story. The couple are a pair of angels. Anyone who will go through the effort to rescue or help distressed animals is a simply an angel in the flesh!
He looked so calm sitting in the car ,poor lovey was so lonely in the tree . You were amazing rescuing him and he will be given great care in the hospital .🐨
He looks like a stuffed toy. He looks like a live teddy bear roaming. I cant believe some animals can be so cute. Hope he is doing well wherever he is, and is fed and healthy n happy
Lol they are considerably less cute when they get territorial over a tree 😂 This one tho didn't seem cute so much as extremely depressed even after being fed and watered.
When he climbed down the tree and was sad ngl made me cry he probably lost his family. And his home due to that huge fire. I'm glad he's getting the help in the end its just very upsetting it needs to happen.
Thank you for helping the Koala ,it was probably so happy to see you again! Thank you so so much! I wish more people would help when they see animals in distress, it may not have made it otherwise .
@@LizzyGiggles what type of neighborhood did you grow up in? "Gentle", this isn't some tv show where everyone is about letting any human whoop their ass, and telling some dumbass policemen, this is the world of eat or get ate, or beat or get beat, most importantly kill or be killed, if a lion ran up on any humans child, the real rational thing would not be to run,or be "gentle", it would be to defend your fucking self and family. Wtf world do you think this is if you think everyone that's "HUMAN" has to be "GENTLE"
Oh it broke my heart at how sad the sweet koala looked while sitting at the tree. Thank you for being so compassionate and going back the next day to check on him and take him the hospital. This is such a touching story that we can all learn so much from. Love one another and be kind always
So sad to see how depressed he was. Thank God they cared enough to go back the next day. He really looked like a child, eating his “Koala leaves” lol that was cute and funny
I love how these people picked this guy up and put him in their car with no box, nothing. That he even attempted to pick the koala up is so great. Some people would have left him there 💔 I have some limited experience volunteering with wildlife, but I work with domestic animals in shelters every day. I would’ve done the same thing ❤️❤️❤️ I hope he got over the trauma of what he went through and found happiness somewhere safe. Love these folks who saved him ❤️❤️❤️
Animal transport crates/boxes may seem cruel, but at the end of the day driving a car is dangerous enough without a wild animal freaking out in an enclosed space and potentially causing a car crash that would likely cause its own death, the death/injury of the car diver/occupants and anyone the car happened hit too in the crash. If you are going to do something as risky as bringing a completely wild animal into a car you have to be considerate of the other people on the road as well as other occupants of the car. Even a domesticated animal that has not been mistreated or abandoned can still go a bit nuts inside a car and cause a crash. What's the point in being free range organic nice when the animal ends up dead anyway because you failed to have the sense to be safe? What do you tell the families of the people your car killed or mutilated in the crash? "Oh yeah, I was thinking of playing it safe and keeping him restrained while we were driving on a public road - but then I saw his sweet little face and I just thought f**k it, you only live once!" 😑 Unless you are extremely well versed with an animal and/or you have a barrier to protect the driver you should not do this - it's dangerous for you, it's dangerous for your passengers, and it's dangerous for the animal too.
I couldn't do your job....the first time someone brought in an abused animal, I would have no choice but to find out who and where and I would be in jail quite soon afterwards.
Poor little baby, hope he/she's doing fine now. The australian fires were such a tragedy for millions of creatures I can't help but crying when I think about it. Thank you to the lovely german couple who took care of the precious baby!
Same. The thought of it was almost too much to bear. I am a firefighter and this is something we NEVER get used to. Seeing harmed animals is enough to put even the biggest man on his knees.
Hats off to the tourists for their genuine care of an animal that so obviously needed their help, and reassurance. It’s not hard to believe these little guys also want affection as much as food and shelter.
Thank you for looking after this sweet little poppet, for recognising his sadness and getting him somewhere safe where they'll be looked after & ultimately released safely with his fellow koalas 🐨 😊 ❤
Woot!!! I've never been more proud to be German than at this moment!!! Danke, Danke, Danke for saving a sweet fur baby who asked humans for help. I'm so proud of this young couple to be so caring!!! There is a special place for you in all our hearts and with God who sent you to save this little guy. 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

You did exactly the right thing. Thank you for saving one of our babies. Australia loves and thanks you both xxx If you ever come to Perth, please contact me through this site. I would be honoured to buy you both a meal. xxx 🐨
The koala seemed to have been traumatised and was sad, it wanted connection,. Thanks to these people for saving it. Look how it perked up in the car :)
I agree. The koala saw death and desolation all around him. You can see he perked up a bit when he was in the car. He got happy and when they left him by the tree, he was distraught all over again. Poor baby. I'm glad he was saved.
@@raymondbabb1970 some people call them that! It's common enough even if it's inaccurate. In German it's the same, actually (the German couple here doesn't do it though).
Poor little sweetheart. Thank you for helping him. He must be feeling so sad and traumatized. He lost his home, his family and everyone around him. We must remember that animals have feelings too and that's why it's so important to treat them nicely and show them love and kindness. I really hope that he's ok and was released in a place where he can interact with other koalas.
I am convinced that warm-blooded animals have, potentially at least, the same feelings and sentiments as us. Of course, being non-verbal in particular, they do not express or manage their feelings the way we do, but a hungry, confused, lonely, and sad koala feels exactly the same way as a hungry, confused, lonely, and sad person. It's just that a koala cannot call a few friends and order a takeaway...
I can’t even imagine someone could just leave him alone without taking care, it’s so obvious the sad bear was traumatized and needed some comforting, some company after the loss of his whole family. It simply wanted to be in company and feel some connection to some caring individuals. Who knows how long it’s been wandering alone. So thankful they took care.
The trees maybe traumatic because they burned and he was alone at the tree In the car he felt safe and removed from the trauma plus he wasn't alone. He had the two humans as companions.
What treasures you two are - and you will indeed remember the event and him forever. He looked so content in the back seat of your car with his Eucalyptus leaves. And not alone - it broke my heart to see him at the base of the tree trunk with his face down towards the trunk, sad and alone. I am sure you saved his life - thank you.
This little guy was obviously distressed....and you could not of done any more than you did .....a beautiful end result....well done....it's amazing how these little guys will approach people for help when they need it.....great effort....hope you enjoyed your trip and return one day.
He or she must have been through a LOT to let itself be patted like that. Very lucky they were there. Koalas don't live in family groups, except mother and baby, but they do have colonies. It must have been exhausted to be so calm in that situation. Good on them for helping ❤
They also only climb trees to find food, so if it wasn't in a eucalyptus tree area it wouldn't have survived. Plus the trauma it must have experienced. Thousands died in those bush fires, it broke my heart.
This confirms yet again my belief that animals who need help / sick know who is a safe human to trust and allow to help them whatever their predicament may be.
I'm so happy these kind people found him and were able to help him. He must have lost his whole family in the fire and was feeling so lonely. Hope he is able to be in a new koala community and live a happy long life. 💖
Awws a baby. Poor little thing had lost its family and was probably in shock. Well done and thank you visitors! That’s about Australian an experience as it gets. Fire, devastation, a ‘she’ll be right’ camp manager, ‘koala’ leaves, compassion..and a koala. Thanks guys 💞 from 🇦🇺🐨🦘🐨

When we allow proper logging and forestry to help by cutting down trees and creating clearings, then Mother Nature doesn't have to do it herself like that. That is why cutting down trees when necessary is so important.
@@martineshamzin7535 Yeah, that's true. AND not causing the overall temperature to rise.
"Koala leaves." That's too damn adorable and funny! This kind couple did a beautiful thing. I'm so relieved they came back for the koala and that the baby stayed where they left him. The koala may have been traumatized; he was lethargic and his sadness and loneliness broke my heart. I hope the koala recuperates at a sanctuary and eventually released in an area where he can find new family and friends. Sweet and poignant video, especially when one is having a difficult day.
❤🙏🐨🐾
@@emerdigiorgio3594 Your emojis express how I feel and much more cuter! Thank you.
I hope and pray your day and rest of your life is good.
New phrase. Koala Leaves. It's great! They are very, very picky about the leaves they eat, so you seem to have chosen very well. I remember hearing about a German person in the UK asking for where they could find the.. err... "food weapons?" to mean cutlery, and when I think of the word cutlery, I think of 'food weapons' nearly always. I love human brains and what they do with language :)
@@nuttibuddy Thank you Linda. I hope you're blessed with a fabulous life - meaningful, yet fun with family and genuine friends.
I almost cried. So sad how the little fellow looked when they sat him under that tree. He apparently didn’t have a family anymore. He thought they were going to leave him. So glad they took him to the hospital. I sure hope he is doing ok. I have more of a heart for animals than I do people, but sometimes they need a person with a heart to help them.
I have more of a heart for animals than I do for people, too. People are harder to love sometimes, but animals are easy to love.
Shut up
Same
100%... I'll choose animals all day long over people, even children cause they too grow up and usually aren't very nice adults.. Animals need us more for our voice anyway...
@@JaneCooper190072 Your comment is spot on. Thank you!
Seeing him with snacks in the car melted my heart
It’s likely the poor animal lost its family in a fire. Hopefully it is being looked after and has some happiness restored.
I thought that he could ve grieving all his family and relatives. At least, at the rescue he will make friends. Physically he looked in a relative good shape.
Yet dehydration & hunger = severe ill health & Likely Severe Headache.
We must consider headaches more often with all animals. (Animals’ headaches reminds me too of the terrible constricting “shirt” claimed to calm dogs, which forces shallow breathing. Likely it is inflicting headaches that cause dogs to be still. It hasn’t been ruled out.)
I’m also thankful for the kindness in this video for the defenseless. Nothing is more important
I said the same thing after looking at his face
That’s so sad to think he could’ve watched them burn… 😭
@@peaceshepherding529 what the hell are you talking about?
The poor soul. He looked so sad and defeatedly alone at that tree. He actually looked happier and content in the car. Guess he just wanted some company.
He looked the way I look when I feel lonely. And when I’m happy as a child with snacks when someone befriends me. 😇
To @halimahh2100: A big no to your comment that the Koala “just wanted some company.” Koala’s are solitary animals. This Koala was in shock. He was starving and dehydrated. This koala’s entire world had just burned to the ground a couple days ago. The Koala recognized that these people were there to help him. I’m glad they got this Koala to the right people to help him.
The world needs a lot more people like this young couple.
Correction : "We have to be like these couple".
it's useless if you won't to be one of them like what you said.
start from yourself, not someone else.
@@dragulia_venaro touch grass dude
@@dragulia_venaro Why go negative? Feel indicted? you know what was meant. Great couple. Just give them some credit. ENVY.
WONDERFUL people...and a great rescue. Poor little koala, obviously missing the warmth of family 😥, normal socialisation. BUT at least now he...or she...is headed in that direction again. 💛💛
Thank you, as an older Australian Lady, all l can say is Thank you for your kindness. A piece of my heart is forever more broken, not fixable at the loss of a billion of our animals here. l still get tears in my eyes and you both produced them again. Thank you for coming back the next morning, l know the sadness the Koala is feeling, l won't forget you both. xxx
How could people allowed this and how they can think of such thing like WAR still?
It is truly terrible what happened there.Those fires were not of natural cause ,but produced with the help of DEW .Have read a testimony of smn who had almost saved his property when he realised they were bombed with energy and fled in a hurry ,understanding that strange and evil things were happening , impossible to deal with.
The poor koala is probably grieving the loss of family. I'm glad these people were able to help. Hopefully he will rebound emotionally. ❤️
No, it was kicked out of a tree by another. Just needed to find it own. They get depressed and then eventually get back on their way. You do realise that if the couple is still in the country they can be fined for touching it?
@@michaelversace456 Oh please, that fine is probably to stop people going up to koalas and just touching them and annoying them and potentially harming them. I doubt anyone is going to fine this couple for trying to help the koala and bringing him to a hospital. They tried their best and the koala was going to be released later.
@@carrela1000 Oh dear god no just no. People get in trouble for handling the ones that take up residence in their own backyards. You are just wrong.
@@michaelversace456 Not the same. While that is stupid that people get fined for trying to remove koalas from their own backyards (as long as they tried to do it safely) or most people would call animal control or something but still can't see anyone that would willingly fine this couple. Even so, glad they still decided to help
@@michaelversace456 you are miseducated
So cute when the man called the Eucalyptus leaves, "Koala leaves"!!
My heart melted!!
What a lovely couple. 💜
It was clear he was a very sad Koala. Probably lost his family in the fire. 😢
They did a Wonderful thing. They saved his Life!!
God Bless. 💚💚💚
If you take into accord that koalas only eat one type of eukalyptus, koala leaves is kind of better to now exactly which type of eukalyptus XD
@@lyaneris 😀
@@lyaneris uh...they actually eat close to about 40 different types, with preference depending on the region. If they only ate one type, you'd only ever find koalas in one tiny region of the country.

This is the best of a terrible situation. I love the juxtaposition of kindness on that burnt,bleak dirt road. You never know where love will show itself. And you've got to love "koala leaves"😄 So precious 💗
Yes. The Koala leaves was so sweet 😊
That poor baby was severely traumatized. 🥺 He just needed to feel safe and you guys gave that to him. Thank you!💕💕💕💕
Poor baby. This just breaks my heart. Lost his home, his family, his food and water source. I really hope he can have a life restored. Grateful they found him and did their best for him.
( Hopefully they'll keep him at some kind of Koala sanctuary )
Ya
The couple helped , he will be at the sanctuary/hospital … they’re going to make him strong n well and he’ll be released to a good area. Follow your instincts guys, like this 2 couple did.
2 people/couple 😑
More proof that all animals feel pain, grief, and loss just like we humans do.. poor guy lost everything and was heartbroken 💔
😪❤️🐨🇨🇦🥰
You know, back in the day adults would say to kids that animals don't feel pain / emotion so they wouldn't be upset when the animals went to be slaughtered to feed the family, now we're living in such a surreal time that so-called "scientists" have convinced the masses that animals don't suffer. What a world we live in.. If you want to talk REAL science though, most animals, just like us, produce opioids in their body to combat serious and especially long-lasting pain, even such simple creatures such as earthworms produce these opioids, so yes even an earthworm feels pain & has enough of a mental capability to suffer! Animals also self-medicate by consuming many different plants, from opioid-containing ones to psychadelic mushrooms.

Unlike all the cruel heartless idiots who comment about how animals don't have feelings. I think they're projecting because psychopaths don't have feelings for anyone but themselves.

Very true!
Well said. Most ppl wouldn’t want their vacation interrupted and these ppl stopped everything to help.
@@saltycat662animals have some feelings. but there is an alarming amount of delusional fanatics that humanize animals and worship them. so it goes both ways.

*This video is a powerful reminder that animals are capable of feeling a wide range of emotions, just like humans. It's heartbreaking to see the pain and loss that this animal has experienced*
This was heart breaking, but taking him to the rescue was the best thing to do. Hopefully he feels better, after alot of care 💖

Poor thing, so traumatized! You did absolutely the right thing. Don't listen to others. Trust your own instincts. You can feel what the animal feels, act on that response. Koala needs to be in a safe zone for a while. Nature is brutal. Great job!!! Danke schoen!
I’ve never seen a sad koala 🐨 😢. I’m glad they found him and were so gentle with him.
" We stopped and picked koala 🐨 leaves 🌿... that is an animal lover for you 🥰😘 I'm so glad that Marcel and Melissa cared enough to stop and give this koala the care they needed, and then kept going and taking him back to the animal hospital 🌈
Man that truly broke my heart how sad he was sittin in front of that tree... He just wanted a friend and more and likely lost all he had... I truly love animals
So very true. Just sitting in front of the tree. Lost and wondering.
What are you on about? Koalas are solitary animals mate.
@@michaelversace456 Totally missing the point. Nevermind.
@@michaelversace456 Read between the lines...
Unless that was a eucalyptus tree, he wouldn't have been particularly happy in it. That said, it was smart that the visitors decided to feed him the appropriate food, provide water and get him to a rehabber. The koala was showing signs of physical stress and a rehabber would know how to help him the best. 👍
That poor baby was clearly traumatized and most likely dehydrated(from not eating leaves). I'm so glad that the kind couple took him to a shelter and didn't listen to the campground owner. The koala clearly needed looking after and this was such a heart warming story. Just so sweet to see a happy ending♥️!
🐾🐨🙏💞
Vielen Dank, dass ihr dem Koala geholfen habt. 🐨😘❤
Ultimately it is we humans who are destroying the environment of koalas and wildlife. We have to make our politicians so responsive to mining corporations and other corporations-- to stop climate destruction.
@Schmetterling Diesem Dankeschön möchte ich mich uneingeschränkt anschliessen. Ich hoffe, dass es ihm gut geht. Aber eine sei angemerkt...Tiere können denken und auch somit fühlen. Wie gerne würde ich wissen wollen, was sie denken. Schade das es keine direkte Kommunikation zwischen uns gibt. // I would like to wholeheartedly endorse this thank you. I hope he's fine. But one thing should be noted...animals can think and therefore feel. How I would like to know what they think. It is a pity that there is no direct communication between us.

Bless this couple for helping this little one.
What lovely caring people, they probably saved his life ♥️♥️
It looks like a kid just put on a koala costume, especially when they are sitting in the car... unreal how adorable that little guy was. The way it looked when sitting under that tree broke my heart. I hope it is thriving now.
Sweet. I love Koalas. How he holds on to the car at 1:07 min. Thank you for not leaving him there alone. Greetings from Thuringia Germany.
Gott segne dich Michael.
This exquisite animal wanted more LOVE than food. What an incredible story. The couple are a pair of angels. Anyone who will go through the effort to rescue or help distressed animals is a simply an angel in the flesh!
He looked so calm sitting in the car ,poor lovey was so lonely in the tree . You were amazing rescuing him and he will be given great care in the hospital .🐨
He looks like a stuffed toy. He looks like a live teddy bear roaming. I cant believe some animals can be so cute. Hope he is doing well wherever he is, and is fed and healthy n happy
Lol they are considerably less cute when they get territorial over a tree 😂
This one tho didn't seem cute so much as extremely depressed even after being fed and watered.
@@mnomadvfx yeah thanks for that kill joy
@@mnomadvfx you must be fun at parties 🙄😒…
When he climbed down the tree and was sad ngl made me cry he probably lost his family. And his home due to that huge fire. I'm glad he's getting the help in the end its just very upsetting it needs to happen.
Thank you for helping the Koala ,it was probably so happy to see you again! Thank you so so much! I wish more people would help when they see animals in distress, it may not have made it otherwise .

These kind of people are the reason we havent turned this world to the mad-max version. Yet.
Whoa, feel so sad for the Koala but so happy to see you give him the love and help it needed.
Oh it broke my heart at how sad the sweet koala looked while sitting at the tree. Thank you for being so compassionate and going back the next day to check on him and take him the hospital. This is such a touching story that we can all learn so much from. Love one another and be kind always
So sad to see how depressed he was. Thank God they cared enough to go back the next day. He really looked like a child, eating his “Koala leaves” lol that was cute and funny
You are very good and lovely people. Thank you for saving one of our koalas. 🙏🙏 He was so sad that he’d probably lost his will to live. 🙏💙
I love how these people picked this guy up and put him in their car with no box, nothing. That he even attempted to pick the koala up is so great. Some people would have left him there 💔
I have some limited experience volunteering with wildlife, but I work with domestic animals in shelters every day. I would’ve done the same thing ❤️❤️❤️
I hope he got over the trauma of what he went through and found happiness somewhere safe. Love these folks who saved him ❤️❤️❤️
That's what I was thinking. This koala was traumatized.
He’s so cute ❤
Animal transport crates/boxes may seem cruel, but at the end of the day driving a car is dangerous enough without a wild animal freaking out in an enclosed space and potentially causing a car crash that would likely cause its own death, the death/injury of the car diver/occupants and anyone the car happened hit too in the crash.
If you are going to do something as risky as bringing a completely wild animal into a car you have to be considerate of the other people on the road as well as other occupants of the car.
Even a domesticated animal that has not been mistreated or abandoned can still go a bit nuts inside a car and cause a crash.
What's the point in being free range organic nice when the animal ends up dead anyway because you failed to have the sense to be safe?
What do you tell the families of the people your car killed or mutilated in the crash?
"Oh yeah, I was thinking of playing it safe and keeping him restrained while we were driving on a public road - but then I saw his sweet little face and I just thought f**k it, you only live once!"
😑
Unless you are extremely well versed with an animal and/or you have a barrier to protect the driver you should not do this - it's dangerous for you, it's dangerous for your passengers, and it's dangerous for the animal too.
I couldn't do your job....the first time someone brought in an abused animal, I would have no choice but to find out who and where and I would be in jail quite soon afterwards.
@@mnomadvfx Always one of you in the comments that has to be different and point out the obvious.
Poor little baby, hope he/she's doing fine now. The australian fires were such a tragedy for millions of creatures I can't help but crying when I think about it.
Thank you to the lovely german couple who took care of the precious baby!
I hope they took he / she to a ranger station for safety.
Same. The thought of it was almost too much to bear. I am a firefighter and this is something we NEVER get used to. Seeing harmed animals is enough to put even the biggest man on his knees.
There are some fires here in the U.S., California and around the world, the Amazon, etc.
Those fires weren't by accident either
Little darling seemed heartbroken and needed some one to care. Glad he found two kind people who did the right thing.
Hats off to the tourists for their genuine care of an animal that so obviously needed their help, and reassurance. It’s not hard to believe these little guys also want affection as much as food and shelter.
Beautiful German couple. Noted.
Germans are usually good in other people's countries. Usually.
What a kind german couple! I want to express my gratitude for caring for him!
Ha! 0:45 The way the koala *holds the door handrail for security* right after being lifted up out of his once-familiar environment - adorable ☺️

The koala seemed to have been traumatised and was sad, it wanted connection,. Thanks to these people for saving it. Look how it perked up in the car :)
I agree. The koala saw death and desolation all around him. You can see he perked up a bit when he was in the car. He got happy and when they left him by the tree, he was distraught all over again. Poor baby. I'm glad he was saved.
The little bear was was wanting a human to care for it probably lost its mother and needed LOVE ❤️.
@@rebaeasler yes exactly x
@@rebaeasler Why do you call them bears?
@@raymondbabb1970 some people call them that! It's common enough even if it's inaccurate. In German it's the same, actually (the German couple here doesn't do it though).
Poor little sweetheart. Thank you for helping him. He must be feeling so sad and traumatized. He lost his home, his family and everyone around him. We must remember that animals have feelings too and that's why it's so important to treat them nicely and show them love and kindness. I really hope that he's ok and was released in a place where he can interact with other koalas.
I am convinced that warm-blooded animals have, potentially at least, the same feelings and sentiments as us. Of course, being non-verbal in particular, they do not express or manage their feelings the way we do, but a hungry, confused, lonely, and sad koala feels exactly the same way as a hungry, confused, lonely, and sad person. It's just that a koala cannot call a few friends and order a takeaway...
I wish I could give your comment 10,000 likes!
I'm glad they decided not to leave him at the tree, and took him to a team of professionals that will help him.
I can’t even imagine someone could just leave him alone without taking care, it’s so obvious the sad bear was traumatized and needed some comforting, some company after the loss of his whole family. It simply wanted to be in company and feel some connection to some caring individuals. Who knows how long it’s been wandering alone. So thankful they took care.
I literally cried seeing this. Poor kaola could not come out from the pain . It is so cute and adorable 😘😘😘😘
What wonderful people to read his emotions and be able to tell that he wasn't ready. I'm so grateful, because of them his life can be restored 🐨💙🙏
The Koala looks more relieved in the car than under the tree for some reason…
I hope he lives well in the wild~
Thank you for sharing this video~🤗
The trees maybe traumatic because they burned and he was alone at the tree
In the car he felt safe and removed from the trauma plus he wasn't alone. He had the two humans as companions.
Real life heroes! The world needs more of these kind people. They saved the koalas life by going with their gut feeling.
You made me teary-eyed knowing there are people who genuinely care for wildlife. Be blessed 💕 both of you.
I really liked how gentle the man was with the koala when trying to handle it.
What treasures you two are - and you will indeed remember the event and him forever. He looked so content in the back seat of your car with his Eucalyptus leaves. And not alone - it broke my heart to see him at the base of the tree trunk with his face down towards the trunk, sad and alone. I am sure you saved his life - thank you.
This little guy was obviously distressed....and you could not of done any more than you did .....a beautiful end result....well done....it's amazing how these little guys will approach people for help when they need it.....great effort....hope you enjoyed your trip and return one day.
Heartbreaking...
All creatures have souls and are self aware...
Humanity has a long way to go .
Grateful that most folks care.
He or she must have been through a LOT to let itself be patted like that. Very lucky they were there. Koalas don't live in family groups, except mother and baby, but they do have colonies. It must have been exhausted to be so calm in that situation. Good on them for helping ❤
There was a dead koala in the beginning next to it
They also only climb trees to find food, so if it wasn't in a eucalyptus tree area it wouldn't have survived. Plus the trauma it must have experienced. Thousands died in those bush fires, it broke my heart.
This confirms yet again my belief that animals who need help / sick know who is a safe human to trust and allow to help them whatever their predicament may be.
He very much enjoyed the car ride with snacks. What a lovely little creature.
I'm so happy these kind people found him and were able to help him. He must have lost his whole family in the fire and was feeling so lonely. Hope he is able to be in a new koala community and live a happy long life. 💖
"This story will be with us for our lifetime."
Yes it will.
He's so lucky he found you to help him out. Good for you, we need more people in the world like this.
