This heartwarming moment was captured by the rescue teams amid the horrific fires in Southern Australia. The firefighter can be seen pouring water into a Koala’s mouth as the animal gladly chugs it.
The video has reinforced Twitter’s faith in humanity.
God bless.

This is what for a human is created, to help other creatures when they are helpless. Kudos to those Humen.

This is just one example among several others in Australia where humans have jumped in to save wild animals as forest fires continue to cause havoc in the country.
