Everyone at the Waite Campus, University of Adelaide, knows and loves TEDDY who resembles a much-loved child’s teddy bear. He is a long-term resident having been there since 2005. He has favourite trees; therefore the security staff know where to find him in times of extreme heat. Ice packs are put on the trunk of the tree so he can rest on cool branches and bottles of water connected to poles are raised up to him, where he laps the dripping water.
For the last 10 years, in times of extreme heat he comes to a KOALA RESCUE Inc carer where he has a fan, ice packs and water misters 24 hours a day until the heat subsides. He then lets the Carer know he is ready to go back to home to his favourite tree at Waite.
You can adopt a koala like Teddy today from $10/month (cancel any time). You will receive an adoption certificate, a photograph of Teddy and updates of what we’ve been doing at KOALA RESCUE Inc and koala facts via a twice yearly supporters' newsletter.
