Irwin Family Helping to Save Animals in Danger After Australia Wildfires.<br />Terri and Robert Irwin, Steve Irwin's widow and son, spoke to Anderson Cooper on Monday.<br />about the work they are doing to help save the animals that were injured in Australia's wildfires.<br />It's so devastating for us to see that all across the country, vital habitats and so many animals from koalas to kangaroos to fruit bats have been displaced. , Robert Irwin, via 'Anderson Cooper Full Circle'.<br />We're seeing not only burn injuries, but also animals coming onto roads, being hit by cars, attacked by dogs, so it really is a <br />tough situation. , Robert Irwin, via 'Anderson Cooper Full Circle'.<br />The Australia Zoo, which is owned and operated by the Irwin family, has seen an increase in injured animals being admitted to its Wildlife Hospital.<br />It's definitely working overtime for our vets and nurses to try and treat everyone that comes in here. , Robert Irwin, via 'Anderson Cooper Full Circle'.<br />Koalas are particularly in danger <br />from the bushfires.<br />The problem with koalas is they instinctively go to the tops of trees. Eucalyptus trees have a very high oil content in the leaves, and when a hot fire hits a eucalyptus tree, they literally explode. , Terri Irwin, via 'Anderson Cooper Full Circle'
