Thirsty Koala -- Nick Lothian Facebook

These Australian cyclists were joined by a surprisingly spry little companion while journeying through Adelaide on Tuesday.

A koala by the side of the South Eastern Freeway accosted the travelers during their break from pedaling. The wee marsupial crawled up on the nearest bicycle wheel and took a hefty drink of H2O while animal services was called.

The thirsty koala was later given a clean bill of health and released back into the wild, while his new Facebook photo accrued some fame.

  1. That’s rare. They usually get all the hydration they need from the leaves they eat. I guess there must be a drought on. Glad the little guy got a nice swig of clean water and was released on his way.
