What do koalas do during a bushfire?

During a bushfire, koalas typically seek refuge in trees to escape the flames and smoke. They may climb higher into the canopy to avoid the heat, but this can be dangerous as they become more vulnerable to the fire's spread. After a bushfire, many koalas face severe challenges, including loss of habitat, food sources, and increased risk of injury or death from the fire. Conservation efforts often focus on rescuing and rehabilitating koalas affected by such disasters.
