<p>A hot and thirsty koala found comfort on the roadside after days of sweltering conditions</a> in South Australia. This video shows the koala in the Hope Valley, 20 minutes from Adelaide, having a drink from the gutter. The uploader stated: “It found welcome relief via a 20 minute drink of fresh rain water, running in a drain.”</p><p>According to the Australian Koala Foundation, koalas do not often seek water</a> to drink as they obtain most of their moisture from leaves. During the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires, video was released of a koala drinking</a> from a firefighter’s waterbottle. Credit: Facebook/Paul Jansen</p>
