Paul Ramos, a veterinarian who has been helping animals affected by Australia’s bushfires, shared a touching video about an orphaned koala on Instagram this week.
“This little girl unfortunately just lost her mother. People and Nature: Truly we are all connected, and we can and must do better. [Love] to the #wildlifecarer ‘s, local community and #wildlifevets who will step in to take care of her and hopefully, release her back to the wild.”

In another video, Ramos explained the roles teddy bears play in helping the koalas recover.
“They need things like this. Them being, like, arboreal or tree-dwelling creatures, they need to hold onto things. So when they’re transported or they come out of anesthetic, they need something to hold onto. So, literally, they’ll wake up with a teddy bear. So, we have these teddy bear drives.”
