Koalas starving and dying of thirst after bushfires destroyed their habitat

Koalas are starving to death because bushfires plaguing the country are destroying their food. The bushfires in the Adelaide Hills have burned 25,000 hectares of land and left koalas desperately searching for food and water. Its often at least four days before they are found. Koalas eat eucalyptus leaves - but thousands of trees have been decimated by fires.
