A few days ago we got a call about a koala in Appin chased up a tree on a property by a dog at no time did the dog get the koalas the member of public rang
Ricardo for assistance Ricardo gave advice eg lock up dogs till koala moves on as they were less then 100 mtrs from bush and koala was healthy with no injuries.
It goes to show not all wildlife have to come into care .
Taking a healthy koala puts it out of its territory for 2 weeks or more.
When a koala is released back into its home range after being in care for that long in care can cause injuries or even death from fighting back for its territory.
Visual checks are made first from trained Wildlife rescuers before any rescue as the new national Park Laws are anyone koala touched is class as a Rescue and it must come with the care .
Visual checks and monitoring
Signs of injuries, wounds,dog saliva. Climbing issues, ect.
Thank you all involved
Team work makes dream work
Wire’s koala team done a follow up call ❤️🐨
